“…One possible reason for the notable increase seen since 2020 could be the pervasive impact of the pandemic, which has prompted the integration of diverse technologies and digital platforms into nearly every facet of our daily routines (Shan et al. , 2023; Qin et al. , 2023).…”

“…By the end of 2023, the number of published works will likely exceed that of the previous year. One possible reason for the notable increase seen since 2020 could be the pervasive impact of the pandemic, which has prompted the integration of diverse technologies and digital platforms into nearly every facet of our daily routines (Shan et al, 2023;Qin et al, 2023). As a result, a more expeditious digital transformation has become necessary, as highlighted by Boța-Avram (2023a).…”

PurposeThis study aims to review the current literature on the positive and negative effects of digitalisation in preventing corruption. It analyses existing research patterns and provides recommendations for future studies.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employed bibliometric analysis and systematic review to scrutinise 190 papers from the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2023. Biblioshiny on R Studio was used for advanced bibliometric analysis to determine publication dynamics, influential journals, publications and impactful authors and a three-field plot to analyse relationships among countries, keywords and journals.FindingsThis study provides a bibliometric analysis of the past and actual developments in the field related to the effects of digitalisation on corruption. Based on the systematic literature review on a sample of the 50 most influential articles, this study identified background theories employed, the primary research methodologies adopted and valuable insights into both the positive and negative aspects of the impact of digitalisation on corruption.Originality/valueThis study provides an extended overview of the effects of digitalisation on corruption and advances new avenues for further research related to this field. The white and dark sides of the effects of digitalisation on corruption are highlighted. Furthermore, the study identifies the need for further research in this field to gain a more in-depth understanding of the nexus between digitalisation and corruption.

“…Education, gender, age, nationality, marital status, urbanization, employment are the most major socioeconomic and demographic drivers of fraud identified by researchers (Ata and Arvaz, 2011;Bosco, 2016;Hartmann-Wendels et al, 2009;Luo et al, 2020;Saha and Gounder, 2013;Xu et al, 2018). Technology advancements have become significantly more noteworthy in influencing financial fraud occurrences in the present COVID-19 pandemic scenario (Karpoff, 2021), particularly in the last years as the global digital economy has grown quickly (Qin et al, 2023) and FinTech [2] systems have the potential to faster outperform and perhaps replace conventional bank services (Mirza et al, 2023a).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the impact of political stability on corruption by drawing upon a sample encompassing both developed and developing European and Asian countries.Design/methodology/approachThe dataset, sourced from the Refinitiv database, spans from July 2014 to May 2022. Panel data techniques, specifically pooled estimation and dynamic panel data [generalized method of moments (GMM)] are employed. The analysis encompasses both fixed and random effects models to capture country-specific cross-sectional effects. To validate our findings, we perform a robustness test by including in the investigation four control variables, namely poverty, type of governance, economic freedom and inflation. To test heterogeneity, the dataset is further divided into two distinct subsamples based on the countries’ locations.FindingsEmpirical findings substantiate that political stability (viewed as the risk of government destabilization) has a positive and significant impact on corruption in all analyzed samples of European and Asian countries, though some differences are observed in various subsamples. When we take into account the control variables, these analysis results are robust.Research limitations/implicationsThis research provided a panel data analysis with GMM, while other empirical methodologies could also be used, like the difference-in-difference approach. However, our results should be validated by extending the time and the sample to a worldwide sample and using alternative measures of corruption and political stability. Moreover, our focus was on a linear and unidirectional relationship between the considered variables, but it would be interesting to test in our further research a non-linear and bidirectional correlation between them. Furthermore, we have introduced in the robustness test only four economic variables, but to consolidate our findings, we plan to include socioeconomic and demographic variables in future studies.Practical implicationsThese outcomes imply that authorities should be aware of the necessity of implementing anti-corruption policies designed to establish effective agencies and enforcement structures for combating systemic corruption, to improve the political environment and the quality of institutions and to apply coherent economic strategies to accelerate economic growth because higher political stability and sustainable development determine a decrease in levels of corruption.Social implicationsAt the microeconomic level, the survival of organizations may be in danger from new types of corruption and money laundering. Therefore, in order to prevent financial harm, the top businesses worldwide should respond to instances of corruption through strengthened supervisory procedures. This calls for the creation of a mechanism inside the code of conduct where correct reporting of suspected situations of corruption would have a prompt procedure to be notified of. To avoid corruption in operational procedures, national plans and policies should be developed by government officials, executives and legislators on a national level, as well as by senior management and the board of directors on an organizational level. This might lower organizations' extra corruption-related expenses, assure economic growth and improve global welfare.Originality/valueA novel feature of our research resides in its broad examination of a sizable sample of European and Asian countries regarding the nexus between corruption and political stability. The paper also investigates a less explored topic in economic literature, namely the impact of political stability on corruption. Furthermore, the study depicts policy recommendations, outlining effective and reasonable measures aimed at improving the political landscape and combating corruption.
