But that's comparing apples and bananas.
@James
We are indeed comparing apples and bananas: the two indices are complementary in that respect. And we argue that without looking at the 'supply side' of corruption, there is a terrible risk that a uni-dimensional perception of corruption is encouraged which stokes underlying prejudices about cultures from the global South being corrupt, whereas those from the global North are not. We reject those prejudices.
