“…The study of Achim [21] conducted on a sample of 185 countries for the 2012-2015 period shows that corruption significantly reduces the ease of doing business, the level of entrepreneurship and market capitalization as selected indicators for business development, being a major obstacle for economic growth. Regarding the impact of corruption on sustainable development the findings of Absalyamova et al [22] reveal a negative effect as follows: a 1% increase in the corruption levels of the socio-economic systems of a state causes a decrease of more than 1% of the value of the human capital sustainable development index (HCSDI) of that state. In the same view, Forson et al [23] find that corruption poses a long-term threat to the sustainable development of 22 economies in Sub-Sahara Africa.…”

“…It is a summary measure of the average achievement in three key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being aware of the cause and having a decent standard of living, according to UNDP Human Development Reports [45]. The HDI indicator is used in many research papers as a proxy for sustainable development [22,46].

Having in mind the main debate “grease the wheels” vs. “sand the wheels”, the main objective of this study is to find the way in which corruption and shadow economy influence economic and sustainable development. A large cross-country database of 185 countries is used for the 2005–2015 time period. We find that corruption and shadow economy are poverty-driven diseases and they highly characterize low-income countries. Thus, the higher levels of corruption and shadow economy are correlated with low levels of economic and sustainable development. Then, the main contribution of this work consists of finding general and empirical evidence for the destructive role held by the corruption and shadow economy phenomena upon the economic and sustainable development of states. However, we also find some evidence that corruption can be also seen as a way to circumvent the law in order to achieve higher economic benefits and thereby to increase economic development. In addition, we find that economic and sustainable development in high-income countries is more strongly and negatively affected by the phenomena of corruption and shadow economy than in the case of low-income countries. Our research may have political implications for the government institutions that need to adopt the best-required policies, in order to boost economic and sustainable development. For low-income countries, we find some evidence for positive effects of corruption and shadow economy upon economic and sustainable development and the immediate practical implications are not to encourage but to effectively and strongly fight against these destructive phenomena and to find the proper channels to increase the institutional quality and to adopt the appropriate regulatory policies.

“…A study by UNDP (2008) observed that human development can reduce corruption. However, other studies (Becherair and Tahtane, 2017;Absalyamova et al, 2016) also established a negative correlation between corruption and human development in MENA countries implying that when HDI increases corruption reduces. In terms of poverty, studies have established that corruption does not affect poverty directly, rather through intermediaries such as economic and governance factors that in turn produce poverty.…”

“…Generally, the study has established that corruption can have an influence on key socioeconomic indicators such as the HDI across selected countries. This was observed in various studies which have established association between corruption and socioeconomic indicators such as economic growth and development (Sebake, 2017;UNDP, 2008) and poverty (Becherair and Tahtane, 2017;Absalyamova et al, 2016). They all point to the fact that ending corruption is a one of the necessary preconditions to the achievement of the key socioeconomic outcomes.…”

State capture is one form of corruption that has received very little research interest over the years. This could be attributed to the fact that many societies particularly in the developing world seem to have institutionalized it. State capture is a manifestation of government failure which involves the manipulation of bureaucratic rule and formal procedures by business and political elites through family ties, friendship or social groups so as to influence state policies and laws in their favor. The aim of this paper was threefold: First, to give an elaborate and detailed discussion surrounding the phenomenon of state capture from a public finance perspective; second, to discuss the extent of state capture in Zambia citing instances of state capture and how this negatively impacts on society at large; and third, to examine the effects of state capture on key socioeconomic outcomes and broader governance while making comparisons with other countries. Analysis took the form of extensive review of literature and descriptive analysis focusing on frequencies, trend analysis and simple measures of association. This paper outlines that state capture is a manifestation of government failure and is based on the principles of the predatory government view of the state in which state agents act as utility maximizers. It establishes that state capture is a combination of a weak institutional and governance structure which gives room for rent-seeking, lobbying, election rigging and class formation. Further, the study establishes that in Zambia, although the perception of state capture has reduced slightly, it exists and has an effect on socioeconomic outcomes such as human development and the growth of firms. The paper concludes by stressing the need to put in place strong social and political institutions that will help reverse this dangerous trend.

“…Their study also found According to the degree of corruption, the lead areas are education and health care that directly impairs the quality of human capital'. (Svetlana Absalyamova et al, 2016) Indonesia is also experiencing similar conditions, where, from time to time level of poverty is never significantly reduced. Based on the report of the National Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of poor people in Indonesia in 2016 reached 27,76 million, while in 2017, it was 26,58 million.…”

This article is excerpted from a portion of KPK and LIPI's research on "political sector corruption" in Indonesia. This research concludes that one of the main roots of corruption in Indonesia is a corrupt political system and very corrupt political parties. The authors also find that the majority of major political parties in Indonesia are managed like a family company and controlled by a handful of oligarchs. Therefore, the management of political parties in Indonesia is not transparent and accountable and is not following the principles of democracy and anti-corruption. This research concluded that all political parties in Indonesia have the following characteristics: (i) they have no accountable and transparent political party financial management. All political parties are not willing to announce the amount and the origins of their finances and do not want to report the utilization of their political party funds in detail. (ii) The caderisation process in political parties is not working following the merit system so that many members of political parties are easily jumping from one political party to another. (iii) The implementation and enforcement of the ethical code of conduct in political parties are very little or not at all. As a result, the violations of democratic principles and ethics are considered normal. Therefore, it is not surprising that the quality of politicians in Indonesia is very low and results in prolonged corrupt practices among elected officials (legislative and executive), because they were born from unprofessional political parties and has many congenital disabilities.
