Thus, we identified political, social, economic and demographic characteristics that were associated with corruption. We demonstrated that the population size, the characteristic of the transfers (the amount of funds transferred by the federal government), municipal characteristics related to income and education, and the situation of the control in the city (the distance between 1 This is a preliminary version of the paper, all comments are welcome.
