Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between decentralization and corruption in Brazil during the 2007-2010 period using corruption information from the anti-corruption program by the Comptroller General of the Union. We investigate whether the results of Peixoto et al. (2012) for the Southeast region are valid for the country as a whole. These estimates are important because Brazil has a very unequal regional socioeconomic pattern and because the decentralization process is still ongoing. Two measures of decentralization were used: an indicator of fiscal decentralization and a measure of administrative decentralization. Results suggest that there is a negative and statistically significant relationship between administrative decentralization and corruption in health programs managed by municipalities, in contrast to the previous evidence for the Souhteast region. On the other hand, no significant change is observed on the effects of financial decentralization.
