This study attempts to examine the effect of corruption on income inequality in Indonesia. The study uses the gini ratio as a proxy for income inequality, serving as the dependent variable. The corruption perception index is used as a proxy for corruption, while several control variables such as economic growth, taxes, and foreign direct investment act as independent variables. Using the multiple linear regression method with time-series data, the results of this study show that the corruption perception index has a positive and significant impact on income inequality. These results indicate a tendency for the "grease the wheel" effect of corruption on income inequality in Indonesia.
