Supplementary notes

To compile the corruption perception index data is pooled from various surveys and studies and a score between 0 and 100 is calculated. A score of 0 indicates high perceptions of corruption and a score of 100 indicates that no corruption is perceived in the respective country. The original author does not provide details of exactly where data is sourced from to calculate this index.
