<p>Decades and
policies come and go, and the ominous problem of corruption remains almost
unaltered. Some of the most sought-after policies for corruption deterrence
focus on institutional reforms aimed at assuring the right and effective access
to information, reinforcing rule of law, tackling impunity, and increasing
integrity standards for public servants. The aim of this dissertation is to
test whether the impact of these policies over corruption is traceable at the
subnational level of mexico and the united states. Seeking to accomplish this
purpose, statistics measuring corruption, transparency and relevant variables
are analyzed through ols regression and correlation methods. The findings point
that spite of the evident benefits of transparency for democratic governance,
under the methodology selected and with the ensuing subnational statistics, it
is not possible to affirm that corruption is noticeable affected by
transparency or integrity variables. Implications of these findings ask for a
revision on the manner corruption is measured, and to devise which sort of
circumstances bolster or thwart transparency´s prowess to cause a dent over
corruption.</p>
