Corruption and population health outcomes: an analysis of data from 133 countries using structural equation modeling

“…While these findings on the link between corruption and population health outcomes are enlightening, they are also limited in scope, and raise a number of issues that need further investigation (Judge et al 2011). The relative impact of corruption on various health indicators has not yet been extensively explored.…”

Unjust Enrichment from Official Corruption in Africa: Theory and Model on How Lenders Have Benefited

According to Vinod (2003), the cost of capital is higher in economies where corruption is much more prevalent.…”
