This paper will discuss Islamic Religious Education and internalization of anti-corruption values as the effort to prevent corruption. The effort to overcome corruption crime not only with prosecution and eradication, but also with prevention efforts. One of the prevention efforts is education. Therefore, it needs anti-corruption education model as the resistence efforts toward corruptive behavior and to internalize the value of morality. It has to do literatively to build anti-corruption view. The aim of this paper is to understand integration of anti-corruption values in Islamic Religious Education model. Furthermore, this paper also discusses transformation of Islamic Religious Education that integrating anti-corruption values as the prevention efforts of widespread corruptive behavior and to increase corruption perception index. In this case, Islamic Religious Education must be able to make a methodological transformation in terms of cognitive anti-corruption literacy in each learning activity to all those learners. Furthermore, by building an analysis of social symptoms and public issues with a research approach, it must be able to build public morality. The success of the concept will be able to internalize anti-corruption values and to increase corruption perception index in the world.

Corruption is a behavior that cannot be socially or religiously justified. Interestingly, despite the corruption is prohibited in all religions in Indonesia, the index of corruption remains high as reported by the results of surveys of national and international institutions. Besides, research on this matter showed inconsistency in the relationships between religiosity and corrupt behavior. This research re-examined the relationship between religiosity and anti-corruption intentions and determined the moderating effect of gratitude as an intervening variable. Gratitude is one of the strongest religious values which is expected to reduce ones’ intention to do corruptions. The research was conducted using a correlational research design, involving 92 population in an educational foundation in Garut regency, West Java. Data were collected using the GRAT short form to measure gratitude and the Muslim Religiosity Scale (MRC) was employed to measure religiosity. Whereas, Anti-Corruption Intention Scale was used to measure the anti-corruption intention. The results of data analysis showed that religiosity and anti-corruption intentions were positively correlated (F= 154.1, p = .001, R2= .631), and gratitude moderated the increase in the relationship (R2= .668). Therefore, gratitude was regarded as an intervening variable that strengthened the correlation between religiosity and anti-corruption behavior by 3.7%.

AbstractThis paper aims to examine specific cultural attributes which may be favourable to economic development or restrictive to corruptive behaviour. The indicators of GDP growth and GDP per capita, the Human Development Index (HDI), Hofstede's cultural dimensions and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) were used within a two staged analysis on the sample of selected emerging economies between 1995–2015. The findings of the research outline the complexity of this topic and numerous interrelations among the involved variables. The paper emphasises the importance of understanding the cultural traits of societies and the motives for corruption, to be able to take appropriate measures to promote economic and human development and to combat corruption. Future studies could assess differences within cultural clusters of the emerging economies to allow further insights on a comparative level, increasing the possibility to find answers why different regions develop faster than others.

Full textAbstract:
This paper shows that corruption constitutes a threat to the rule of law in a democratic law-observing state, destroying it from within and ridiculing it outside. It destabilises social relations in such a state, which adversely affects the political system as well as the development of legislation and economy. The paper also reminds that corruption erodes social relations, causing demoralisation and slackening of morals in society. Corruption may also be a threat to the life, health and property of citizens. The author tracks views about corruption using the method of theoretical analysis of the notions (critical analysis of secondary sources); the statistical method, mainly analysing the latest Corruption Perceptions Index (2019); and the dogmatic-legal method. He concludes that corruption destabilises multiple areas of the functioning of a democratic law-observing state, disrupting the political space, spoiling the law, and causing destructive phenomena in the economic as well as in the moral sphere. It ultimately destabilises state structures, rendering them dysfunctional and perverting the principles of democracy. Corruption interacts with legality acting as a feedback loop, as it destroys the rule of law and democracy, which in turn deepens corruptive phenomena.

In term of its presentation of data, qualitative descriptive research is implemented as the method. To interpret the handling of corruption conducted by Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission, Charles S. Pierces’ theory of signs classification in icon, index, and symbol is utilized as the approach. Disclosure of meaning the signs itself applies of Rolland Barthes’s connotation interpretations in significance. The Five Codes in significances are divided into Hermeneutic, Proairetic, Semantic, Symbolic, and Cultural. Visual infographic analysis in corruption’s handling by Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission is expected for being able to give a discourse in semiotic interpretation to signs and meaning in infographics. Theoretically, the purpose of this analysis will give depiction about a scientific approach to visual communication design theory in sending message through sign-system in each visual elements in infographics.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationships of different types of corruption and selected economic measures that appear to contribute to a country’s sustainable economic development. Design/methodology/approach – The research used selected data from the World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey on corruption activities (Irregular Payments and Bribes, the Diversion of Public Funds, Organised Crime, and Favouritism in Decisions of Government Officials) and Ethical Behaviour of Firms. The economic data (FDI, GDP, GDP Growth and Capital Formation among others) is from the World Bank database. A series of statistical models were developed to examine the relationships among different types of corruption and a country’s economic development. Findings – The findings are mixed, showing that some types of corruption have greater negative impact on specific aspects of economic development. Research limitations/implications – The research is limited by the availability of data from reliable sources and the availability of data on a limited number of corruption activities. Only four aspects of corruption are examined in this paper. Only selected aspects of a country’s economy were examined. The variables analysed in the study were not available for each of the 179 countries. Practical implications – A country may learn the types of corrupting activities that must be controlled to aid in the targeted growth of specific economic development, such as Direct Foreign Investment. Originality/value – This study builds on previous work by Anderson (2012, 2013) that used Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI) as a global measure of corruption. This study, in contrast, uses the results of the World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey, to indicate the perceived level of different types (components) of corruption. By using more specific measure of corruption, there is a better understanding of the relationships between corruption and economic development.

Corruption usually harms all aspects of macroeconomic performances of all countries around the World especially the developing world. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the impact of corruption on inflation tax in MENA countries. In a previous paper1, we used Corruption Perception Index (CPI) as a definition of corruption and applied Friedman, International Bank and Vito Tanzi definitions for inflation tax. We concluded that, there is a positive and significant relationship between corruption and inflation tax. In this paper, we used two different indices for corruption; Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Control of Corruption Index (CCI) to investigate the sensitivity to different definition of corruption. To do so, we have concentrated on a sample of 17 developing countries from Middle East and North Africa countries for which the necessary data were available for the period 2003-2008. We have used two different indices for corruption; Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Control of Corruption Index (CCI). Our findings based on panel data (we used unbalanced panel data because of missing data) regression models indicate that in general a positive relationship between corruption and inflation tax exists. In other words, the higher is the corruption the higher will be the inflation tax. Therefore, according to the results, governments have to try to use policies reducing corruption.

ABSTRACTThis research aims to revisit the relationship between two cultural dimensions index (masculinity and power distance) and corruption – as indicated in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). Two hypotheses were proposed: An increase in the masculinity index increases corruption and an increase in the power distance index increases corruption. Using the latest CPI data from 2012 to 2016 of 67 countries, this research found that the increase in masculinity does not significantly increase corruption. Meanwhile, it is noticed that the increase in power distance significantly increases corruption. Better understanding on such relationship will provide valuable input on how cultural approach is important to fine tune the design of corruption eradication strategy, particularly in Indonesia.At the end, proper strategy will contribute the improvement of Indonesia’s CPI, which will eventually improving Indonesia’s business environment for the investo

This study aims to investigate the impact of money supply growth rate, inflation and GDP growth rate, on corruption using the annual data from 2000-2016. The data was collected from World Bank for inflation, money supply, GDP and control of corruption (COC) index. The corruption perception index (COP) index was collected from Transparency International. The relationship between COP and inflation is found to be unidirectional hence COP granger causes inflation but inflation does not granger causes COP. This study revolves around Corruption and it is an important variable that is affecting inflation, and it has caused the need for improvising the fiscal and monetary policies which require an element of anti-corruption policies to combat corruption and inflation.

Abstract The phenomenon of corruption is known all over the world, and its intensity varies according to economic, behavioral and educational factors. Transparency International is a global civil society that carries out regular opinion surveys and publishes the perceptions of corruption in countries around the world. This index identifies the level of corruption perceived in the world and contributes achieving a ranking of countries in this regard. The corruption perception index should be correlated with economic situation of a country. The economic situation of a country can be reflected by GDP and unemployment rate. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the index of corruption is influenced by the economic situation of a country, so the study analyses the corruption perception index, GDP and unemployment rate, establishing whether there is a link between them.

This paper reveals the author’s assessment method of corruption in Russia and as well as in regions of Russia, in order to justify the introduction into scientific circulation polyfactorial corruption index. It’s based on the mathematical correlation between the measurement of the job crime and major social, economic and political indicators relating to the development of society. The use of polyfactorial corruption index is suggested to calculate the total value of the potential corruption and corruption risks. Said calculations helped to reveal regions with a high risk of corruption and structure the forecasts of bribery situation in Russia until 2020. The author establishes a relationship between the level of corruption and the main socio-economic indicators and explains the trend of corruption in Russia.

AbstractThe study examines the effect of corruption (using corruption perception index and Nigeria corruption ranking as proxies) on the stock market performance (proxied with share price index) in Nigeria. The study employed time series data spanning twenty years (1996-2016). Data availability especially on corruption indices was the major reason underlying the choice of period. The data were obtained from CBN Statistical Bulletin and Transparency International website. With the aid of SPSS version 20, the study used Multi-regression analysis and student t-test for the test of hypotheses. The study finds a significant positive correlation between corruption and stock market performance in Nigeria. The result reveals robust positive and significant relationships between Nigeria Corruption Ranking, Corruption perception index and Share price index. The result of the study explains the integration of graft into the Nigerian economic system. Therefore, adoption of a strong form of stock market efficiency by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) for actualization by all listed firms in Nigeria is hereby recommended. In addition, we recommend that the Federal and State governments should formulate more result-oriented policies and rules that could help combat corruption more effectively.

The present study examines levels of corruption and quality of life as predictors of national resilience among six samples of students from Australia, Germany, Britain, South Korea, Israel and Greece (N=1199). Results indicated that the level of corruption and quality of life index significantly predicted national resilience: the lower the level of corruption and the higher the level of quality of life, the higher the national resilience reported. Comparing the two predictors indicated that the level of corruption is a better predictor of national resilience compared with the quality of life index. This study points to the significant link between national resilience and corruption among low-level countries in the world's corruption hierarchy.

Corruption as an extraordinary crime is treated extraordinarily in Indonesia. The state’s treatment of corruption is part of the legal policies of the country. Indonesia is an anti-corruption country, but the corruption index is relatively high. The presence of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seems more repressive as a representation of the current Indonesian criminal law politics. Indonesia is an anti-corruption country, but the corruption index is relatively high. The presence of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seems more repressive in handling corruption cases as a representation of the current Indonesian criminal law politics. But prevention efforts have received little attention. Why have Indonesian criminal law policies not been oriented to the prevention of corruption? Ideally, efforts to prevent corruption in Indonesia use criminal law policies that are based on religious and moral values. Correlatively according to Islamic law, siyāsah syar’iyyah (Islamic legal policy) will have a positive effect on corruption prevention. Institutionalizing siyāsah syar’iyyah for prevention of corruption in Indonesia is relevant to the sociological conditions of religious communities. Is it preventing better than giving punishment? Emergency in dealing with corruption is the same as an emergency in dealing with morality. siyāsah syar’iyyah is used as a way of dealing with moral emergencies. Indonesian criminal law policy that is based on siyāsah syar’iyyah is the main solution in efforts to prevent corruption.

Transparency International released an annual report on the corruption perception index in 2018. The survey results of 180 countries showed a bad score because more than two-thirds scored less than 50. The highest score is 100, which means very clean or free of corruption, and the lowest is zero which means it is very corrupt. Indonesia must learn from New Zealand and Australia who have succeeded in helping improve the corruption perception index in their country, even though Indonesia's corruption perception index experienced an upward trend in 2014-2018. In an effort to analyze Good Governance in eradicating corruption in Indonesia, the researchers applied the Penta Helix Model, better known as the ABCGM concept, namely Academicians, Business, Community, Government, and Media to reduce the level of corruption in Indonesia. This research method is qualitative to investigate, find, describe, and explain the quality or features of social influences that cannot be explained, measured or described through a quantitative approach. The Penta Helix model is considered to have a positive influence in eradicating corruption.

This article argues that income inequality increases the level of corruption through material and normative mechanisms. The wealthy have both greater motivation and more opportunity to engage in corruption, whereas the poor are more vulnerable to extortion and less able to monitor and hold the rich and powerful accountable as inequality increases. Inequality also adversely affects social norms about corruption and people's beliefs about the legitimacy of rules and institutions, thereby making it easier for them to tolerate corruption as acceptable behavior. This comparative analysis of 129 countries using two-stage least squares methods with a variety of instrumental variables supports the authors' hypotheses using different measures of corruption (the World Bank's Control of Corruption Index and the Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index). The explanatory power of inequality is at least as important as conventionally accepted causes of corruption such as economic development. The authors also found a significant interaction effect between inequality and democracy, as well as evidence that inequality affects norms and perceptions about corruption using the World Values Surveys data. Because corruption also contributes to income inequality, societies often fall into vicious circles of inequality and corruption.

In order to improve environmental performance, the participation of effective and transparent citizens and governments that help counteract corruption in environmental matters is crucial. In this sense, this work focuses on exploring relationships between e-participation, e-government, the corruption index and environmental performance indicators. To this end, a sample comprising 116 countries from varying geographic regions is used in conjunction with indicators of environmental performance, e-participation, e-government and the corruption index. Through the use of the HJ-biplot and STATIS multivariate statistical techniques, it will be possible to observe the role that these variables play in countries’ behavioural patterns with respect to environmental performance. The results show a correlation between the indicator ‘perception of corruption’ and environmental performance; therefore, the lower the level of corruption, the higher the environmental performance index. We conclude that countries that exhibit more e-participation, lower levels of corruption and better level income are more likely to follow policies and programmes aimed at achieving better environmental performance.

Given the current economic crisis and increasing competition both for foreign investment and in international markets, we think that this economic analysis is timely and useful as the corruption level is a significant factor in the investment decision-making process. In this article, we investigate whether different types of economic regulation (different types of capitalism) might be fostering corruption. We think that countries with the liberal market economics system might have a lower corruption. We use the theoretical approach of Hall, Soskice (2001) to the varieties of capitalism to analyse countries’ competitiveness according to the competitiveness indices of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the International Institute for Development Management (IMD). We use the Knell and Srholec (2005) methodology to calculate the index of coordination that determines a country’s type of capitalism. The index consists of 9 variables which are later divided into 3 groups according to the factor analysis results. For the corruption estimate, we use the Transparency International corruption perceptions index. Regression analysis revealed that coordinated market economies (CME) are more conducive for corruption.

Corruption was always intrinsic to all types of economy, but the most developed countries had the smallest level of corruption and this rule worked opposite. But recently, the scope of the problem has increased and changed sharply around the world. This negative phenomenon in a long run is absorbing almost all executive branches. So, the article is devoted to analyzing the main spheres and areas of corruption. Results showed that many countries have high rates in a corrupted society. The article shows the reasons and roots of corruption behavior. Regression analysis for the Rule of Law Index and corruption indicators is carried out with a focus on the relation between ROL Index and CPI, GCI. The direct link between ROL Index and CPI is confirmed empirically (R2 = 0,9155). Also, an indirect link between ROL Index and GCI (R2 = 0,9294), ROL Index and ESG Index is confirmed (R2 = 0,7209). The main recommendations was given to develop and implement the integrated anti-corruption technologies in the tangent spheres: public administration, local self-government, justice, education and medicine, et. Major approaches that define the rule of law were clarified with the aim to prove the interaction between non-compliance of rule of law and the appearance of corruption as a phenomenon. It is considered that the rule of law and human rights are two sides of the same principle that defines the freedom to live worthily without corrupted actions that destroy people’s independence firstly from the shadow economy and secondly from dishonest behavior from different dependent officials.

This paper aims to estimate the effect of corruption (represented by data of Corruption Perception Index) and human development (represented by data of Human Development Index) on the economic growth (represented by data of Gross Domestic Product) in 44 (forty-four) countries who join the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). this paper uses multiple linear regression with panel data of Corruption Perception Index from transparency.org, Human Development Index from United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Gross Domestic Product from World Bank. The 10 years range of data (2009-2018) finds the Corruption Perception Index does not have a significant effect on the economic growth, but The Human Development Index has a positive significant effect on the economic growth or Gross Domestic Product. It can be seen that the commitment of OIC countries in human development is on the right path, since they are in line with their economic growth rates. When viewed together, the Corruption Perception Index and the Human Development Index have a simultaneous influence on the economic growth. So, this result is important to help the OIC as additional references to their Annual Summit or Conference to focus more on Human Development strategy to enhance the economic growth.

Corruption within the corporation has become an important issue in the academic and public debate. The negative consequences caused by companies that engage in corruption are enormous, such as market distortion and incentives, resource allocation inefficiencies, as well as the increased of poverty and social inequality. Companies have the opportunity through a corporate responsibility (CSR) to prevent the problem of corruption. As important as labor, human and environmental rights, corruption mitigation is an important aspect in promoting CSR. CSR can be profitable in sales revenue and market share by improving the perception of ethical corporate customers. However, with the involvement of corruption, it can reduce the confidence of investors and the public against the company which may result in reduced financial performance. The purpose of this study is to determine empirically the correlation of anti-corruption disclosure reported by the companies listed in the Sri Kehati Index and FTSEGoods Bursa Malaysia Index on their financial performance, both the short and long term. The results showed that only the whistle blowing policies were fully disclosed by all companies in the sample of this study. The results also show that the disclosure of anti-corruption has significant influence on the company's profitability only in the long term for companies registered in Sri Kehati Indonesia index. As for the sample of companies registered in Malaysia FTSEGoods Index, the results showed that the disclosure of anti-corruption affect the company's financial performance both in the short term and in the long term. This implies that investors were responding to the anti corruption issues disclosed by the companies and companies should keep the disclosure practice in the future.

Since there is a general perception that the defence industry is more susceptible to corruption compared to other sectors, using a unique database provided by Transparency International (TI), we examine the role of firm level antecedents on firm level corruption risk in the defence industry. We find that larger firms have lower levels of firm level corruption risk. Managerial shareholding is associated with higher levels of corruption risk. Firms that voluntarily disclose more information regarding their corruption control systems tend to have lower levels of corruption risk. Finally, listed firms also have lower levels of firm level corruption risk. We find that the “listing effect” is stronger among firms in financially developed countries ostensibly due to the better scrutiny and monitoring by market participants. In our analysis, we control for country level variables such as a composite index of government effectiveness in controlling defence industry corruption.

Full textAbstract:
A study has been carried out on the evolution in recent years (2009-2018) of the interaction between citizens and public administrations in the European Union, as well as the relationship between transparency and e-government. It is also analysed whether those countries where the development of e-government is greater have more transparency and less corruption. The existence of a directly proportional relationship between corruption, measured through the corruption perception index (the higher the value of the index, the less corruption), and the development of e-government has been confirmed. On average, the greater the transparency in the management of public resources in the governments of the European Union, the lower the public's perception of corruption. This ratio is higher in 2009 than in 2018, so that the effect of e-government on corruption attenuates over time, showing that more factors need to be considered in order to explain the perception of corruption.

Full textAbstract:
The authors analyze street-level corruption as a complex criminological phenomenon. They use the methods of statistical, comparative law and correlation analysis to examine the dynamics of street-level bribery, outline its conceptual borders and identify the key criminological parameters and characteristics of bribery. The presented corruption indicators (street-level corruption type, corruption-infestation index of state and local authorities, structure of bribery and transactional costs index) make it possible to widen the borders of criminological research of street-level bribery, introduce new categories and concepts into the research agenda, reject the traditional view of street-level corruption as a solely criminal law phenomenon and predict its dynamics in the short- and mid-term. The authors note that the new criminological trends include the gradual habitualization of corruption, the increase in the number of corruption crimes committed by the police, the growing share of crimes connected with bribery (legalization of criminal income, fraud, excess and abuse of authority). Besides, they draw attention to the fact that modern street-level corruption directly depends on the type of authority that state and municipal agencies have and on the effectiveness (difficulty) of resolving problems by the consumer of corruption services.

This study discusses the effort against corruption eradication in Asian countries which is a manifestation from the corruption itself. To that goal, this study adopted a literature review to explore ways to corruption eradication (secondary data). Meanwhile from the literature review, the analysis provided information that corruption eradicating was more directed at preventive measures through education in early childhood at the elementary school programs as an investment in future integrity. The citizen participation, institutions cooperation, good governance, and electronic use in reporting activities system contributes to efforts to make difficult corruption. The corruption eradication in each country will apply differently according to the condition and resources available.

In this paper we investigate the impact of corruption on economic growth in Portugal over the period 1980-2018. The empirical approach makes use of a VAR model inspired by the standard Cobb-Douglas aggregate production function. The VAR model includes the capital stock, hours worked, total factor productivity and the corruption perceptions index (CPI) of Transparency International. The CPI combines several sources of information on the level of corruption in each country. The scale of this index goes from 0, the highest level of corruption, to 10, the lowest level. The magnitude of the estimated effect of corruption on economic growth in the unrestricted VAR model is large (and positive), but statistically not significantly different from zero. However, the results from the estimation of a structural VAR model with economically plausible long-run restrictions indicate modest gains from reducing corruption.

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic problem and occurs in every country with different levels. Corruption will complicate democracy and governance of a country. To overcome the problem of corruption, the government must implement good governance. This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of elements of good governance on the level of corruption in Southeast Asia. Good governance variables are presented by six variables: voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence / terrorism, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law and control of corruption.
Meanwhile, the level of corruption is measured using the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The research sample was selected using the purposive sampling method and produced a sample of 8 countries and the observation period was carried out in 2009-2018 or as many as 10 years, so the number of samples in this study were 80 samples. Corruption level data used in this study uses the Corruption Perceptions Index (Transparency International), while the good governance data used in this study uses the Worldwide Governance Indicators (World Bank). The research methodology used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis with the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 program. The results showed that the variable voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence / terrorism, and rule of law had no effect on the level of corruption, whereas the government variable effectiveness, regulatory quality, and control of corruption affect the level of corruption.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of environmental regulations, corruption and economic freedom on economic growth in China. Different indices were used as measurements of the variables; Environmental Policy Stringency Index, Control of Corruption Index and Economic Freedom of the World Index. The study uses quantitative methods to empirically determine which factors play a role in China’s progressive economic growth rates. Unit root test, Johansen cointegration and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) modelling were applied to examine the short and long run correlations. Results indicated that there is in fact a correlation between environmental regulations, corruption, economic freedom and economic growth. Long run coefficients demonstrated that environmental regulations had a negative impact on economic growth, while corruption and economic freedom displayed positive results. However, short run coefficients showed that environmental regulation is insignificant in the short run, corruption maintains a positive impact and economic freedom negatively effects economic growth in the short run.

Nepal is the 122 least corrupt nations out of 175 countries throughout the world according to the 2017 ‘Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI)’ reported by Transparency International. Corruption Rank in Nepal averaged 127.64 from 2004 until 2017 A.D., reaching an all time high of 154 in 2011 and a record low of 90 in 2004. Various cases of VAT fraud, massive irregularities in the distribution of relief materials of earthquake victims and the government’s failure to control the artificial increase of fuel and basic goods, prices after Madhesh agitation and crisis in Nepal-India trade relation has evidenced that corruption in Nepal has becoming systemic. However, no study is undertaken to estimate the magnitude of corruption. Therefore, along with the promulgation of the Federal Democratic Republic Constitution of Nepal 2015 AD, time has come to conduct a nationwide survey to estimate the magnitude of corruption in Nepalese economy and identify the measures to control it. This study has analyzed the historical trends of corruption and economic growth as well as conceptual and theoretical issues of corruption. Moreover this study tries to analyze the trend, extend and explore the determinants of corruption in Nepal. The causes of corruption are bad system of governance, bad incentives and weak civil society. The major determinants of corruption are economic growth, trade liberalization, inflation and Human Development index.

This paper addresses the role of corruption in political processes today as well as problems of its measurement with Corruption Perception Index (TI) and the Control of Corruption Index (WB) as the key measures. We propose a variant of the methodological solution as concerns the problem of validation strategy in cases, where the measures under study are few and have correlated measurement errors. Our proposal is based on a combination of the correlation, principal components and regression analysis. Using the proposed methodology we find that both indices are highly consistent with one another. At the same time there are differences in consistency degree in the countries with a high and a low level of corruption. We conclude with some suggestions about usage of these indices in comparative analysis of corruption.

Corruption, defined as the misuse of public power for private gains, is a problem for many emerging and developing countries. Corruption increases the poverty and reduces growth and investment. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between corruption in the host country and the US foreign direct investment towards that country. I use two measures for corruption: The Corruption Perceptions Index and the corruption distance, which is the absolute difference of the corruption in the host and the US. Using a sample of 47 countries that receive the US foreign direct investment, I find that corruption is a strong determinant of US FDI outflows and the US investors are reluctant to invest in corrupt countries. Moreover, corruption distance has a negative effect on US FDI since as the distance in corruption increases, we observe less US FDI towards the host country.

This method allows us to generate the long-run distribution of corruption among the post-communist countries. Our empirical findings suggest that corruption in the post-communist countries is a very persistent phenomenon that does not change much over time. Several theoretical explanations for such a result are provided.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the impact of corruption on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Using data from the International Monetary Fund, Transparency International and United Nations conference about commerce and development data bases a cross-section econometric model was estimated to evaluate in which way and how strong corruption influence FDI inflows. Econometric modelling covers the period from year 2000 to 2007 and the data about 82 world countries that constitute more than 500 records. The main conclusion of the paper is that corruption has a negative and significant impact on the foreign direct investment inflows. Thus, changes in the level of corruption in the country, which is reflected as a decrease (increase) of the corruption index by one solitary, on average, cause an increase (decrease) in FDI inflow by 96,064 dollars per capita. Moreover, every single point of the corruption index in the previous assessment period, on the average ensures 123,077 dollars inflow of FDI per capita.

Some studies show the negative impact of corruption on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. The high level of corruption can cause a direct reduction of FDI because of the bad reputation of the country abroad. Recent studies, however, also point to a possible reverse trend where countries with higher corruption are for some investors very attractive. This paper focuses on verification of the existence of relationship between the level of corruption and FDI and the impact of corruption on FDI in selected group of countries in period 1998–2015. The use of correlation analysis reveals a significant relationship between FDI and corruption. Regression analysis reveals the negative impact of corruption on FDI, particularly in countries with high levels of corruption. This analysis confirms the dependence of FDI on the level of corruption in the country especially in countries with a high level of corruption. Fighting corruption could be considered as a tool supporting investment inflows in these countries.

Purpose Corruption is a serious problem in Southeast Asian countries. Based on the average ranking of Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, Malaysia is ranked as the second least corrupt country among Southeast Asian countries. However, this country is still facing problems in its fight against corruption, in which efforts undertaken to prevent corruption have been said to be “unsatisfactory.” The purpose of this paper is hence to examine previous literature for the possible factors affecting the success of anti-corruption efforts in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach This study analyzes previous studies conducted on Malaysia’s experiences in its fight against corruption. Findings The findings of this paper indicate four attributes that lead to the failure of anti-corruption efforts in Malaysia. Originality/value This paper will be useful for scholars, policymakers and anti-corruption practitioners who are interested in Malaysia’s experiences in fighting corruption.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the convergence of IFRS in ASEAN countries resulted in an improvement in financial-reporting quality, and in particular with regards the degree of conditional conservatism of financial reporting. Then, the authors investigate whether the convergence to IFRS and the degree of conditional conservatism is influenced by corruption as a proxy for the strength of ASEAN jurisdiction legal and enforcement systems. Design/methodology/approach The sample of this study is based on 22,085 firm-year observations from three ASEAN countries, namely, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore from 2008 to 2014. This study employs a panel least square regression to test the effect of IFRS on two measures of conservatism which are asymmetric timeliness and accrual-based loss recognition. The conservatism data are extracted from ORBIS, while data for corruptions are extracted from Corruption Perception Index (CPI) that was released by Transparency International. Findings This study finds Convergence of IFRS enhance conditional conservatism. The findings are robust for two measures of conservatism which are asymmetric timeliness and accrual-based loss recognition. The result on unconditional conservatism finds that IFRS reduce unconditional conservatism, which supports that the code-law structures of the ASEAN countries as characterized by unconditional conservatism is reduced after IFRS convergence. A further test indicates that corruption reduces conditional conservatism in more corrupt countries. Research limitations/implications This study focused on three ASEAN countries only, as they have consistent convergence dates to the IFRS. Therefore the result may not be generalized to other ASEAN countries. Practical implications The study provides implications to the regulators that IFRS enhance financial-reporting quality and reduce the randomness of decisions that are based on financial information as has been introduced by unconditional conservatism. Therefore it is important for the regulators to incorporate IFRS compliance into laws and regulations. Currently, IFRS compliance is not incorporated into laws and regulations for ASEAN countries, except for Malaysia. In Malaysia, Section 7 of the Financial Reporting Act 1997 (FRA) empowers the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) to issue approved accounting standards for application in Malaysia. Under section 26D of the FRA, financial statements that are prepared or lodged with the Central Bank, Securities Commission or Registrar of Companies must comply with the standards issued by the MASB. Originality/value This paper extends the literature on the effect of IFRS on conservatism as it provides robust effect of IFRS on both conditional and unconditional conservatism. In addition, this study extends the literatures on the effect of corruptions in the relationship between IFRS and conditional conservatism.

Abstract E-government is recognized as a tool for improving transparency and openness in the public sector and for combatting corruption. Understanding the relationship between e-government development and the level of corruption would allow for a more effective leveraging of related projects in anti-corruption efforts. This paper examines the impact of e-government development on the level of corruption in the context of economic perspective. In contrast to previous studies, this empirical relationship is measured across sub-indices (dimensions) of related indices between 2002 and 2016. The results show that higher levels of e-government development are related to lower levels of corruption. The three most important dimensions found are the environment sub-index, which assesses the extent to which a country’s market conditions and regulatory framework support entrepreneurship, innovation, and ICT development; the usage sub-index, which assesses the level of ICT adoption by a society’s main stakeholders; and the telecommunication infrastructure sub-index measuring a country’s ICT infrastructure capacity. Following these findings, certain ways of influencing of the level of corruption by a stimulation of concrete e-government development dimensions can be drawn. This is important especially in the time of a financial crisis and its consequences, which are also discussed in this paper.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of several macroeconomic variables consisting of gross domestic products (GDP) per capita, economic openness, government effectiveness index, inflation, and the level of education on the corruption index in G20 member countries. This study focused on the effect of education on the level of corruption in the G20 member countries by treating other macroeconomic variables as control variables that were not analyzed in depth. This research used mixed methods with multiple regression with two stage least square (2SLS) estimation method followed by phenomenological analysis. This study found that primary education enrolment and the lifelong learning index did not significantly influence the level of corruption for all G20 member countries, developed member countries, and developing member countries. Secondary education enrolment showed a negative and significant influence on the level of corruption in all categories of countries (all members, developing, and developed countries). Tertiary education enrolment had a negative and significant influence on the level of corruption in all members and developing countries, but had a positive influence in the developed countries. GDP per capita had a contrasting influence: negative and significant influence in the developed countries, but positive and significant influence in the developing countries. Similar to secondary education, the government effectiveness index had a negative and significant influence in all categories of countries (all members, developing, and developed countries). In contrast, inflation and economic openness had a positive and significant influence on the level of corruption, but only in developing countries. The policy implication of this study is the prioritization of secondary education to tackle corruption problems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and test theory-driven hypotheses on the influence of corruption and gender inequality on logistics performance. Design/methodology/approach This paper develops hypotheses based on a review of the literature and theory linking corruption, gender inequality and logistics performance. Testing the hypotheses draws on the following secondary data sources: the World Bank Logistics Performance Index, Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index and the United Nations Development Programme Gender Inequality Index. Regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses. Findings A significant direct effect is evident between corruption perceptions and perceived logistics performance. Corruption is detrimental to logistics. Further, there is evidence of an indirect effect, via gender inequality. Gender inequality is also linked directly to lower logistics performance. Gross domestic product/capita enters the analysis as a control variable. Research limitations/implications While the analysis uses secondary data, sources are credible and their methods – while not perfect – are logical and appear to be reasonable. It is possible that excluded variables could further explain the relationships under study. This implies future research opportunities, perhaps involving case studies of specific nations. Practical implications The results should inspire businesses, non-governmental organizations and governments to invest in, aid, advocate for and legislate toward greater gender equality – and against corruption. Logistics educators have an important role in disseminating this message. Social implications Gender inequality and corruption are current, global social issues. Moving forward toward equality and away from corruption are the right moves. Such moves appear to also yield better logistics. Originality/value This paper is among the first linking corruption and gender inequality to logistics performance. It shows how social issues impact logistics performance at a national level.

The study inspects the effect of corruption on economic growth in China. Corruption is a permanent dilemma, especially for emerging economies, and as a main indicator of quality governance. The study uses data from 1996 to 2015 for key variables e.g. corruption perception index, trade openness. The results show that in the short-run, China gains from the typical corruption, nevertheless the coefficient is statistically insignificant with a slight degree. Though, to support long-run sustainable economic growth, it is very important to overwhelm corruption and ensure good governance. The results show that Chinas corruption prevents long-run economic growth. Hence, to maintain stable development and strong economic growth in China, more efforts are needed to eliminate corruption from society

Full textAbstract:
Corruption is an economic issue that relates to micro transactions and to economies. An economic definition is suggested that separates corruption from crime in general and theft in particular. Different definitions of corruption produce different results and some of these are discussed, particularly that of the World Bank. Corruption is seen as a different way of attempting to gain economic rents. Attitudes towards corruption are found to differ in various countries. Corruption is shown to distort markets because they do not clear on the basis of transparent price signals, and purchasers pay more for goods and services than necessary. Empirical studies show that corrupt economies as a whole also suffer through lower investment and welfare loss. Comparative research has produced a corruption perception index covering 52 countries. Some practical measures to combat corruption are reviewed and it is concluded that cures for corruption, like a virus or cancer, can be found.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to test whether the price traders are prepared to pay for Bitcoin, over the market price, is related to a country’s level of corruption and lack of economic freedom, during Bitcoin’s most turbulent period, 2017-2018. Design/methodology/approach Bitcoin premiums (the excess over the market price) are calculated for 17 countries from April 2017 to September 2018, using daily weighted Bitcoin prices compared to the market price and testing against the Corruption Perception Index, the Index of Economic Freedom and changes in the Economic Uncertainty Index. Findings On testing Bitcoin premiums across 17 countries, it is found that the price paid for Bitcoin above the market price goes hand-in-hand with the level of corruption and decline in economic freedom. As corruption increases so does the premium paid for Bitcoin, and as the level of economic freedom declines, the premium increases. This relationship holds during very different market conditions: the increasing Bitcoin price from April to September 2017; the rise and fall in Bitcoin prices from October 2017 to March 2018; the declining market price from April to September 2018; and in December 2017 when Bitcoin reached over US$19,000. Originality/value Rather than focussing on daily returns which measure changes from day to day, this research uses all transactions during the day focussing on an intra-day consensus price measured in local currency. With such large price increases, percentage measures can hide the size of the monetary response. By focussing on the monetary impact, the differences between countries become more apparent.

Logistics performance of a country plays an important role within both economic and social developments. Therefore examining the relationship among the logistic performance, corruption and foreign trade volume of a country would contribute to the literature. Logistics Performance Index (LPI) has firstly been issued byWorld Bank in 2007 and continued in the years 2010, 2012, 2014. In this paper the mediator effect of Logistics Performance Index (LPI) on the relation between Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Foreign Trade Volume (FTV) analyzed for the years 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014. The hierarchical regression analysis method was used in order to determine the mediator effect. As per the analysis results, the mediator effect of LPI on the relation between CPI and FTV is statistically significant. Consequently it could be suggested that the logistics ability of a country trigger the relation between corruption and foreign trade volume.

Full textAbstract:
It is increasingly recognized that good understanding on the corruption-related causes and remedies of the modern fiscal crisis would bolster informed decisions and key governance standards. Many of the governance weaknesses have been exacerbated by ingrained fiscal indiscipline and lack of effective bureaucratic provisions. These concerns necessitate ongoing research efforts aimed at galvanizing the best compilation of perspectives on the role of public institutions in debt accumulation process. Hence, this study examines the long run and short run effect of corruption on public debt in Nigeria over the period of 1996 to 2017 using ARDL bound test to cointegration analysis. Empirical evidence reveals that both corruption index and control of corruption have an insignificant adverse effect on public debt in the long run, but with a significant influence in the short run. Considering the long-term implication, current anti-corruption efforts might be ineffective in enhancing strategic monitoring and sustainable fiscal standards. Nonetheless, it is emphasized that effective corruption control measures could mitigate spiralling incidence of government debt. Further findings indicate that there exists bi-directional causality between corruption index and public debt, whereas none is found between control of corruption and public debt. The study suggests that strong corruption-based control mechanisms are fundamentals to decreasing fiscal deficits and debt reduction. Overall, a significant insight distills from the study is that the goal of attaining global financial stability and fiscal sustainability through sound regulatory framework has embodied the provisions that enhance corruption-reducing measures and institutional standards to curb persistent debt accumulation.
