    Racism and corruption: cross-sectional case of the US
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2017) Mesa Osorio, Alejandro; Gómez Toro, Catalina
    Using cross-section Google search data implemented by Stephens-Davidowitz (2014) to capture racial hate in every single state of the United States, we found a positive and significant relationship between racism and corruption in the three branches of government, specially the Judicial branch -- Since the termination of the Civil War, states that used to perform slavery as an economic activity started to discriminate the African-American minority and harm their fundamental rights through sentences in local courts -- Additionally, 1% increase in the estimated racial hate decreases the probability to stay in the lowest levels of perceived corruption and increases the chances up to 2% to pass to a \very Common" level of corruption
