    Abstract
    In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the relationship between gender and bribery.
     
    Research has found that, given the traditional social construction of gender roles, men are more
     
    likely to be targeted for economic bribery, while women are disproportionately affected by
     
    alternative forms of exploitation such as sextortion. My findings support this conclusion. Using
     
    individual-level survey data from the 2018/2019 AmericasBarometer survey, in a series of linear
     
    probability models, I find that men in Mexico are more likely than women to be targets of economic
     
    bribery. This relationship may reflect the fact that men tend to have higher levels of participation
     
    in the workforce and greater earning capacity than women.
