This paper aims to develop an inter-disciplinary conceptual framework through review of literature on the relationship among corruption, corruption in public procurement (CiPP), and effects of CiPP on the tax morale (TM). As proposed by Bernheim and Whinston (1986) (1) (grand, and legislative) are in the scholastic focus from different subjects however, petty corruption (here CiPP) is not much focused in the studies conducted so far. electorate (the public), (2) political elite (elected representative(s), chief executive(s), and cabinet minister(s) etc.), (3) influence group(s), and (4) PP professionals (PPP). Potential of PP to act as a potent tool of public-policy-implementation is suggested by scholars if transparency in PP is ensured. Effect of inefficiencies in governance on the taxpayers' TM is highlighted in the literature however, CiPP is presented as an inefficiency in judicious utilization of public money. Corruption-free PP will not only help the governments to 'do more with less' by eliminating inefficiencies (CiPP) but establish the moral authority of governments (especially in developing countries) to raise TM of taxpayers for raising tax collection and channelizing taxpayers' money for improving socioeconomic indicators in the developing economies. Two main types of corruption

“…Public procurement (PP) Thai (2001) links back the earliest procurement order from 2400 to 2800 BC. Buying is a dynamic domain with a number of issues converging into it from a variety of major subjects such as: (1) economics, (2) public policy, and (3) law which are formulating complexities for both PP and PSM.…”

As one of the main means to deliver service, Public Funded Projects (PFPs) always play a vital part in the development of the human society. Accordingly, research interests concerning PFPs from the construction industry have led to a great number of published papers during the past decades. Aimed at identifying the emerging research trend of researches addressing PFP issues, this study obtained target publications from selected international journals, and analyzed those articles in terms of the number of annual publications, authors and affiliations as main contributors, popular research themes, and preferred research methods. This study indicated that the number of PFP articles have been increasing, which could imply the growing importance of PFPs to the construction industry at large. What is more, the findings suggest that researchers from the United States are the most active in this discipline, followed by those from the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Hong Kong and Spain. And the origins of productive affiliations follow a similar way. With respect to emerging hot research topic, integration research, delivery method, sustainable exploration, governance issue, financial concern, performance study, risk management and decision-making challenges tend to attract more concerns of researchers within this discipline. Meanwhile, it was also found that the target articles of this study can be catalogued into three groups, field report, theoretical analysis, and quantitative calculation respectively. In addition, more vigorous modeling and simulation techniques such as stochastic frontier regression modeling and fuzzy synthetic evaluation simulation have been adopted in related researches. Moreover, investigations of content analysis also exhibit that sustainability should be the essential characteristic of PFPs, but there is still a long way to go concerning current sustainability performance of most PFPs. More relative research efforts are needed to ensure a sustainable development of PFPs as well as the construction industry.

Public expenditure and hence a good public procurement (PP) practices are used by most governments to meet specific responsibilities for their citizens. As per World Bank, public procurement is a strategic tool for achieving development, social and environmental objectives of governments, rather than using it as a tool for mere compliance with rules and regulations. In India, the estimated PP expenditure is between 20 and 30% of GDP. The introduction of Public Procurement Bill in the Parliament of India in 2012, with a commitment to rollout e-procurement system across all departments, makes it imperative to understand the complex challenges of using PP to achieve national economic and social objectives. This study explores the prevalent PP activity in India. It attempts to identify and map benchmarking practices vis-à-vis recent international studies available including those conducted by World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.Keywords: benchmarking; best practices in procurement; e-procurement; India; international examples; Public Procurement; Public Procurement Bill 2012 (India); technology adoption.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Koul, S., Kumar, U., Kumar, V. and Verma, R.
