Zusammenfassung:The central focus on this study is trust in government, including the perception of corruption that different groups have regarding the relationships between the actions of European Union-member states and their distributive policies. Are states with more resources immune to corruption? Is there a relationship between income inequality and the level of corruption in a country? Are countries with strong welfare states or with social-democratic policies less corrupt? This article reviews these and other questions theoretically and through a quantitative, cross-sectional analysis based on data from a governance study by the World Bank. It shows the importance of taking corruption into account, as well as effective self-regulation by corporations, in the design of public policies. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
