Transparency International - Competitiveness and Corruption

Competitiveness and Corruption

A review of the linkages between countries' competitiveness and the incidence of corruption was initiated at a Transparency International workshop in Prague, November 1998 and picked-up in the International Anti-Corruption Conference three years later.

Mara Faccio (Purdue University, USA) has issued a number of papers on this subject, including a study entitled “Differences between Politically Connected and Non-Connected Firms: A Cross Country Comparison”
