“…Il semble en effet que les pays connaissant des niveaux élevés de corruption sont susceptibles de conduire des politiques macroéconomiques distorsives. Par ailleurs, une relation négative se dégage entre la corruption et les dépenses publiques de santé et d'éducation en raison probablement des distorsions créées par la corruption dans l'allocation des ressources (Mauro, 1998). Le taux de mortalité infantile évolue dans le même sens que la corruption (Gupta et alii, 2002).…”

“…Les comportements de rente, de prédation et de corruption dans l'administration publique (MacLaren, 1996;Hindriks et alii. 1999) affectent fortement les finances publiques et tout particulièrement le niveau des recettes publiques (Shleifer et Vishny, 1993;Mauro, 1995;Ades, 1997;Rose-Ackerman et Coolidge, 1997;Wei, 1997; World Bank, 1997;Mauro, 1998;Hindriks, Keen et alii, 1999).…”

CERDI, Etudes et Documents, E 2007.16 2 Résumé: L'objet de cet article est d'analyser l'effet de la corruption sur la mobilisation des recettes publiques.Une analyse économétrique sur données de panel (125 pays et couvrant la période 1980-2002) permet de ne pas rejeter l'hypothèse d'un effet négatif de la corruption sur les recettes publiques. Cet effet négatif de la corruption n'affecte pas de manière identique les différentes composantes des recettes. En raison probablement des opportunités différentes de rente, la corruption modifie la structure du prélèvement public au profit des recettes tarifaires assises sur le commerce international et au détriment des impôts directs et indirects, dont en particulier la TVA. Il apparaît également qu'un canal de transmission important de la corruption sur le prélèvement public est celui transitant par un affaiblissement du civisme fiscal capté à travers des variables de l'action publique. Abstract:In this paper, we analyze the relationship between corruption and public revenues. An empirical investigation of panel data (125 countries and covering the period 1980-2002) makes it possible not to reject the hypothesis that corruption has a negative effect on public revenues collection. However, the impact is different on the various components of revenue. This is because different rent opportunities are created by corruption which seems to modify public revenues structure in favour of customs tariffs revenues while reducing direct and indirect taxes such as VAT. It also appears that a major channel of corruption is the weakening of the tax morality which in this study is captured by various public service delivery variables.

“…The point of departure of this line of work is Shleifer and Vishny (1993) who argue that corrupt governments will tend to favor infrastructure and defense projects where corruption opportunities are abundant (compared to spending on say, education and health). The empirical evidence is largely supportive of this since corrupt countries tend to overinvest in public infraestructures which moreover are of lower quality (Tanzi and Davoodi 1997), spend more on defense (Gupta, de Mello and Sharan 2001) and less on education (Mauro 1997 and1998). More recently, Liu and Mikesell (2014) draw on evidence across U.S. states and report that corruption increases spending in public construction projects and reduces spending on education and health.…”

“…Among its mainy ills, economists have reported that corruption tends to reduce economic growth (Knack and Keefer 1995;Mauro 1997;Tanzi and Davoodi 2001), increase income and educational inequalities (Gupta et al 2002), reduce spending on health and education (Mauro 1998;Gupta, Davoodi and Tiongson 2001) and enlarge the underground economy thus reducing government revenues (Johnson et al 1998). …”

Construction corrupts: empirical evidence from a panel of 42 countries

The construction sector, whether privately or publically financed, is characterized by potentially large rents and government intervention. Not surprisingly then, both casestudy and survey evidence has been provided highlighting the problem of corruption in this sector. In this article, we test the proposition that a bigger construction sector is likely to be inimical to clean government based on a panel of 42 countries over the period 1995 to 2011. We control for a range of potentially counfounding variables and the expectation that corrupt public officials may favor the development of this sector because it increases the volume of rents available to them. Our empirical evidence shows that a larger construction sector will tend to worsen perceptions of the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain. JEL Classification: D73, L74

“…Budget on education and health sectors which are two very touching public services directly to the most important people met by the government (Ablo and Reinikka, 1998), but spending on education and less attention to health policy makers, so that the budget for education, health, and social , a very small percentage of the allocation in the budget (Mauro, 1998;Schiavo, 1999;Gupta et al, 2002). Based on this phenomenon, the researchers formulate the problem as follows: Is Good Governance affect the public welfare?…”

The data were tabulated and yielded negative results were excluded from the sample so that the data is processed by 170 samples. Testing is done with the purpose of data variables t+2. The data were analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that: 1) Good Governance affect welfare society with consumption indicators and HDI; 2) Good Governance affect welfare society with private consumption and HDI indicators through audit report but Good Governance has no effect on welfare society through disclosure Financial Statement Local Government; Good Governance has no effect on welfare society with the GDP indicator through audit report.
