Palestinian perceptions about corruption and tax evasion can be affected by their endowment of social capital. This paper tries to estimate the probabilities
that Palestinians will claim to be more against corruption in the presence of high social capital. This estimation is based on binomial logit regression models,
where indicators of corruption are the dependent variables and the proxies of social capital are included in the group of explanatory factors. The empirical
analysis uses a unique data set derived from the "Survey on Social capital" conducted by the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute
(MAS) in 2007. The survey contains several sections where a number of opinions regarding civic spirit, trust, shared values, norms and corruption have been
collected from a random sample of individuals (2,350 observations) in West Bank and Gaza Strip. The indicators of corruption consist of the perceptions that
Palestinians have concerning the importance of fighting corruption, the use of bribes at work and tax evasion. Empirical evidence indicates that the probability
of claiming to be against the use of bribe and tax evasion is higher for individuals that trust institutions and people in general, but lower for individuals more involved
in associational activities. Moreover, we find that individuals that consider the rule of law very important are likely to declare that the use of bribes at work and tax
evasion cannot be justifiable at all.
