Defining what kind of legal and policy response has been elaborated to deal with the image of corruption framed by the modern measures is hard to establish. Although the literature has provided interesting reading about the impact of corruption on both developed and developing countries, the impact of corruption indicators on policy-making is nevertheless perceivable, and has received less scrutiny (Davis & Kingsbury, 2011). The aim of this paper is to identify a set of questions crucial to understand to what extent the methodological and conceptual problems associated with the existing measures of corruption may have an impact on the way policy-makers use these indicators.
