<br/><br/> This study aims at determining the real effect of the implementation of a code of ethics on the solution of ethical problems in the public sphere, considering corruption as the most important non-ethical behavior. With that aim, 154 national administrations whose information on ethical codes is available on the UN's website are analyzed.                               Our findings stress the absence of any influence of codes on corruption problems in thepublic context, both in developed and developing countries. The level of education is the most important determining factor in the control of corruption, especially in developing countries. - Reproduced.
