“…Most studies find that corruption is growth reducing (Mauro, 1995;Shleifer et al, 1993;Aidt, 2009). According to Gray and Kaufmann (1998), public-sector corruption is the most severe obstacle for economic growth. Tanzi and Davooodi (2000) and Gupta et al (2002) argue that corruption changes the composition of government expenditure to be less productive and, thus, determines the growth.…”

Economic growth in a country can be attributed to many variables, both positive and negative. Raising the level of human capital, openness and investment are examples of factors typically considered to have a positive impact on economic progress, while corruption is one of the factors that are often seen as detrimental to economic growth. The purpose of this study is to analyse whether the levels of perceived corruption in a cross-section of countries have affected their economic growth rates over the years [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010]. The study is conducted with a regression on a sample of 14 countries and eight variables for the time period in question. The models are constructed on the basis of the endogenous growth theory. Results using economic freedom index (EFI) shows that corruption has a negative impact of economic growth in the countries in question.

“…Local trade unions from the resourcebased sectors may deter the development of an institutional and regulatory environment that fosters competition. If resource-abundance is also related to rent-seeking and corruption, as it is often mentioned in the literature (Gray and Kaufmann 1998, Ascher 1999, Leite and Weidmann 1999, then a climate of shirking and opportunism may increase the potential hazards of trade (North 1991). In the literature, people in the coal-rich Appalachia region (Virginia, West…”

“…Natural resources provide an easy way of receiving rents (Krueger 1974) and increase the returns to bribing the administration in order to gain access to these resource rents (Gray and Kaufmann 1998, Leite and Weidmann 1999, Torvik 2002. Additionally, natural resources are often associated with the emergence of politically powerful interest groups that attempt to influence politicians prone to corruption in order to adopt policies that may favor particular interests as opposed to the general public interest (Mauro 1998).…”

Resource-Abundance and Economic Growth in the U.S. Terms of use: Documents in SummaryIt is a common assumption that regions within the same country converge to approximately the same steady-state income levels. The so-called absolute convergence hypothesis focuses on initial income levels to account for the variability in income growth among regions. Empirical data seem to support the absolute convergence hypothesis for U.S. states, but the data also show that natural resource-abundance is a significant negative determinant of growth. We find that natural resource abundance decreases investment, schooling, openness, and R&D expenditure and increases corruption, and we show that these effects can fully explain the negative effect of natural resource abundance on growth.
