The relationship that Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel found between the extent of corruption in a country and the number of parking violations committed by the country's United Nations delegates in New York isn't perfect. For example, "Ecuador and Colombia both have perfectly clean parking slates, despite the experts' view of them as fairly corrupt places."
Does this observation invalidate Fisman and Miguel's conclusions about whether the parking violations data provide evidence in favor of there being a culture of corruption in some countries?A. yes, because they may have had other results if they included Ecuador and Colombia in their research.
B. no, because their conclusions are generalized and ma not apply to every country
C. no, because delegates from Ecuador and Colombia do not travel by car
D. no, because delegates from Ecuador and Colombia probably paid someone not to ticket them
Answer: B
