The empirical strategy conducted here draws from a two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression approach locally estimated in each cutoff of procurement categories. Corruption data is drawn from the CGU's audit program and discretion categories from Bill 8.666/93, which regulates all procurement processes for purchases of goods/services and public works in all government levels. Results show, however, that lower discretion is associated with higher corruption prevalence to most cutoffs of Bill 8.666/93 in both purchases and works subgroups. / O presente artigo estuda a relação entre corrupção e discricionariedade do gasto público ao responder a seguinte pergunta: regras de licitação mais rígidas, uma proxy para discricionariedade, resultam em menor prevalência de corrupção nos municípios brasileiros? A estratégia empírica é uma aproximação de regressões em dois estágios (2SLS) estimadas localmente em cada transição de regras de licitação, cuja fonte de dados de corrupção é o Programa de Fiscalização por Sorteio da CGU e os dados sobre discricionariedade são derivados da Lei 8.666/93, responsável por regular os processos de compras e construção civil em todas as esferas de governo. Os resultados mostram, entretanto, que menor discricionariedade está relacionada com maior corrupção para quase todos os cortes impostos pela lei de licitações.
