“…The short run results indicate that similar to the long run corruption positively impacts economic growth. This is in line with most of the literature that claims that corruption may grease the wheels in the short run, however it contradicts the long-term effects of corruption that claim will lead to problems for economic growth and development (Farooq et al, 2013;Pulok & Ahmed, 2017). This implies China's uniqueness, as a country with high corruption that has somehow managed to benefit from such activities over the past decades.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of environmental regulations, corruption and economic freedom on economic growth in China. Different indices were used as measurements of the variables; Environmental Policy Stringency Index, Control of Corruption Index and Economic Freedom of the World Index. The study uses quantitative methods to empirically determine which factors play a role in China's progressive economic growth rates. Unit root test, Johansen cointegration and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) modelling were applied to examine the short and long run correlations. Results indicated that there is in fact a correlation between environmental regulations, corruption, economic freedom and economic growth. Long run coefficients demonstrated that environmental regulations had a negative impact on economic growth, while corruption and economic freedom displayed positive results. However, short run coefficients showed that environmental regulation is insignificant in the short run, corruption maintains a positive impact and economic freedom negatively effects economic growth in the short run.

“…Kaufmann et al (1999) has shown that presence of corruption hurts the poor more intensely relative to other sections and, thus, the distributional efficiency is affected. Farooq et al (2013) uses data on Pakistan to conclude that corruption impedes economic growth and also has feedback effect on each other. Other studies have shown that quantitative trade restrictions shift resources from productive activities to unproductive rent seeking activities (Krueger, 1974;Bhagwati and Srinivasan, 1980;Bhagwati, 1982).…”

“…One of the most dominant variables is economic development. For instance, Farooq, Shahbaz, Arouri, and Teulon (2013) identified corruption as the factor that impedes economic growth in developing countries. A cross-country study of corruption by Saha and Gounder (2013) found that countries with low levels of income tend to be more corrupt than their counterparts that have high levels of income.…”

This study explores how corruption impacts the failure of government projects in developing countries with evidence from the Ghanaian context. This study solicits the perceptions of project management practitioners (14), contractors (6), government officials (clients; 5), and the general public (5) on the subject. The findings indicate that corruption influences government project failure on all the failure criteria that were used for the evaluation. However, corruption influences failure at two different levels: project management and product phase. At the project management level, corruption has direct influence, while at the product phase level, the influence is indirect.
