Abstrakt: This exploratory research examines whether the proliferation of state offices of inspector general (OIGs) contributes to corruption control. Using 50-state panel data from 1976 to 2010, preliminary evidence that the number of state-level OIGs is positively associated with the corruption conviction rate is shown. This suggests that state OIGs act as a successful corruption detection mechanism, and therefore, OIGs play a role in corruption control, working to help keep the government accountable.
