Because the empirical literature on the causes of corruption has focused primarily on the demand side of corruption, that is, the corrupt officials who receive bribe payments, the role of the private sector as the supply side of corruption has not been examined thoroughly in this literature. In this article, it is argued that corporate governance is among the important factors determining the l...

2 Abstract Over the past few decades, many studies of corruption have been carried out. These studies have mainly focussed on specific characteristics such as: economic issues, legal issues, social propositions, impact on national development, and in relation to economic policy. The rationale of this research is to build initial system dynamics models of corruption, so that these models can ext...

One of the main drivers of the rapid growth of corruption research the last 20 years is the easy access to empirical data via corruption rankings and composite indices that can be used for large-N analysis. It is also these indicators that mainly are used to place countries in the comparative literature (and elsewhere) and in analyses of the relationship between corruption and, among else, demo...

The empirical results suggest that political competition is more important than competition in information-producing industries. The rent-seeking view of the relation between gover...

Corruption is rampant in many poor countries. As such, anti-corruption policies continue to be a central component of development strategies. For example, since 1996, the World Bank alone has supported more than 600 anti-corruption programs. Unfortunately, this is one area where research has lagged policy. Research on corruption faces two important obstacles—one empirical and one theoretical. O...

Educational corruption is a worldwide phenomenon yet its impact on economic growth is unclear. In this paper we formulate a macroeconomic model to explore the impact educational corruption may have on growth, educational attainment, and the education wage premium. We find that our model can produce a negative relationship between economic growth and educational corruption as well as a positive ...

When a country interacts with foreign countries, it exposes itself to foreign culture and behaviour. This exposure could in‡uence the domestic culture through imitation or adaptation in the same way as individuals tend to be in‡uenced in their behaviour by the groups that they frequent. This could carry over to business culture in general and the corruption culture speci…cally. Therefore, the m...
