英文摘要：
Corruption is an endemic societal problem with profound implications in the development of nations. In combating this issue, cross-national evidence supporting the effectiveness of the rule of law seems at odds with poorly realized outcomes from reforms inspired in such literature. This paper provides an explanation for such contradiction. By taking a computational approach, we develop two methodological novelties into the empirical study of corruption: (1) generating large within-country variation by means of simulation (instead of cross-national data pooling), and (2) accounting for interactions between covariates through a spillover network. The latter (the network), seems responsible for a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the rule of law; especially among the least developed countries. We also find that effectiveness can be boosted by improving complementary policy issues that may lie beyond the governance agenda. Moreover, our simulations suggest that improvements to the rule of law are a necessary yet not sufficient condition to curve corruption.

中文摘要：
腐败是一个普遍存在的社会问题，对国家的发展有着深远的影响。在解决这一问题的过程中，支持法治有效性的跨国证据似乎与此类文献中激励的改革所取得的成果不谋而合。本文对这种矛盾进行了解释。通过采用计算方法，我们在腐败实证研究中发展了两种方法论创新：（1）通过模拟（而非跨国数据池）产生巨大的国内差异，（2）通过溢出网络解释协变量之间的相互作用。后者（网络）似乎对法治有效性的大幅降低负有责任；尤其是在最不发达国家。我们还发现，可以通过改善可能超出治理议程的补充政策问题来提高效率。此外，我们的模拟表明，改善法治是扭转腐败的必要条件，但并非充分条件。
