To the Editor:
Re “Is Money Corrupting Research?,” by Luigi Zingales (Op-Ed, Oct. 10):
Let’s restate the question: Can you identify any situation in which money is never a corrupting influence on one or more parties to a given situation?
For all other situations, money can be deemed a corrupting influence; therefore, full disclosure of money source, amount and timing is necessary to evaluate the magnitude of its corruptive influence.
