“…A number of econometric issues have been raised in relation to the estimation of the GTM. Certain authors have proposed a correction of the coefficients' standard error as a result of the clustering of observations due to country specific effects (Baier andBergstrand 2009, de Jong andBogmans 2011). Although this could have been used as a sensitivity test for the results, it was not used when estimating the models below.…”

“…With the exception of de Jong and Bogmans (2011), little attention has been given to the influence of institutions on trade, restricting the potential benefits from membership of a RTA. While Rodrik (2000) highlighted the relationship between the institutional and governance structure and trade reform, his focus was more on how the removal of protectionist measures encouraged institutional reform, leading to a higher level of economic development.…”

The paper uses a gravity trade model to examine the impact of corruption on bilateral trade using a data set comprising OECD economies, new EU members and developing nations. Although the level of corruption of both the importing and exporting nations does hinder cross-border transactions, differences between their ethical standards do have a negative impact on trade flows. The model is used to assess the impact on exports and imports of Romania and Bulgaria joining the European Union. Special

This paper focuses on the probability of the occurrence of disasters rather than disaster outcomes. Using panel data from 98 countries, this paper examines how public sector corruption is associated with the probability of technological disasters. It was found that public sector corruption raises the probability of technological disasters. This result is robust when endogeneity bias is controlled.

“…The negative impact of corruption on economic growth and trade have all been documented by various studies over the years (Mauro, 1995;Frye & Shleifer, 1997;de Jong & Bogmans, 2011). For example, Del Monte and Papagni (2007) examined the consequences of corruption in Italy and concluded that the corruption had serious negative effects on economic growth and led to significant costs for the business community.…”

Although significant attention has been paid to the impact of the recent economic crisis on European economies, less attention has been devoted to the association between the economic crisis and corruption. Utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM), the present study investigated the structural relationship between the economic crisis and perceptions of corruption in the European Union. Standard and multilevel SEM was used to estimate the relationship between the economic crisis and perceptions of corruption utilizing data from the 2011 Eurobarometer. The results confirmed the hypothesized model. Specifically, the study found a moderately strong direct positive relationship between the economic crisis and perceptions of corruption. The results indicated that a one-size-fits-all policy aimed at combating corruption, or perceptions thereof, is likely to yield inconsistent results.
