AbstractUsing data from a lab experiment carried out in Kenya, we show that while “legitimate” costs and costs imposed by corruption both deter investment, the latter is no more of a disincentive than the former. We interpret the evidence as consistent with the conclusion that our participants viewed corruption as just another cost of doing business. We also experimented with giving participants in some treatments information about the corruption expectations of participants in previous sessions and the actual extent of corruption in previous sessions. We find some evidence that the objective information actually increased investment without changing the participants’ own expectations regarding corruption. That result is compatible with the idea that revealing the level of corruption changes the descriptive norm and facilitates investment in a corrupt environment.

A brief review of the American system of chemical education, at the highschool to junior college level, with emphasis on the content and format of teaching lab experiments. Lab experiment is a mandatory part of any highschool chemistry. In recent years, Vernier’s methods, unified equipment and computer software have been widely used as the basis for conducting a training experiment. The content and organization of laboratory workshops in general and organic chemistry at a number of college-level educational institutions on the basis of the author’s own teaching experience were considered.
