Gillanders, Robert ORCID: 0000-0001-9462-0005 (2013) Corruption and infrastructure at the country and regional level. Journal of Development Studies, 50 (6). pp. 803-819. ISSN 0022-0388
This paper examines the relationship between corruption and infrastructure at both
the country and regional level using the World Bank’s Enterprise Surveys data. A
statistically significant and considerable relationship is established between the
measure of corruption in the macro data and the measures of transportation and
electricity infrastructure. Countries with more corruption tend to have worse
infrastructure. At the regional level, the key result is unchanged. The magnitude and
significance of this result is shown to vary by global region. Two stage least squares
results, using distance from the equator as an instrument at the macro level support
the simple OLS. Finally, it is shown that within country variation in corruption has a
significant effect on regional infrastructure.
