| Title | Corruption in Education: A Cross-Country Study |
| Summary | While studies of corruption as a general phenomenon are abundant, studies of corruption in education are scant. Drawing upon existing taxonomies of corruption in education, this paper first develops hypotheses about determinants of corruption in education, and, second, empirically tests these hypotheses on a sample of 79 countries. OLS results indicate that besides being affected by institutional quality and factors influencing the extent of corruption in public sector in general, corruption in education is also affected by education-specific factors, such as public expenditure on education, gross enrolment rate, enrolment in tertiary education, and percentage of graduates with degrees in law, economics, and social sciences. The paper concludes with some policy implications for combating corruption in education. |
