I wonder if it would be best to measure the impact of corruption instead. For example lots of small bribes to a cops Vs corrupt regulators allowing an large oil spill to happen for example.. IMHO, a lot of third world countries have endemic corruption and they live with it as long as it is bearable, but when it comes to large impact issues (A contaminating mining development or large water usage), locals are much more willing to go out on the street and protest (sometimes riot) to stop it than people on developed countries where almost nothing happens (the 99'%s protests for example)
