Abstract: For a long time， there has been a scarcity of research on officials corruption due to the publics bribing. Based on a survey of G Province in 2014， it was found that for the sake of convenience in conducting business with the government， 30% to 44% people would like to pay bribes. To explore the differences of individuals willingness to pay bribes， three dimensions including corruption tolerance， corruption perception and past corruption experience were constructed. An analysis of the logit regression model found that all the other factors being equal， the higher the publics corruption tolerance is， the more likely they are to pay bribes; the more corruptions the public perceive， the more likely they are to pay bribes; and those who have more corruption experiences are more likely to pay bribes than those not.

Key words: corruption perception, corruption tolerance, corruption experience, willingness to pay bribes, logit regression model
