| Title | Does political instability induce corruption? |
| Summary | The aim of this study is to analyze how political instability affects corruption. For this purpose, we firstly carry out data analysis. Using multiple OLS regressions over a range of countries and controlling for additional explanatory variables, we find out that political instability is not necessarily positively associated with corruption. In view of our findings in the data, we secondly present a theoretical model where we show that corrupt behavior of the monopolist officials is so that when political instability is introduced, overall gains from corruption are reduced. |
