“…Utilizing a framework of Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson-Vanek (HOSV), Marjit et al (2014), moreover, investigate the relation between corruption and international trade pattern. By utilizing dynamic panel model and considering some variables, such as trade openness, corruption, and capital-labor ratio, the study finds that the contribution of international trade activity to national income in low-income countries (developing countries and relatively labor-abundant) is smaller compared to high-income countries (developed countries and relatively capital-abundant).…”

“…Ranjan and Lee (2007) also support the idea by considering that international trade volume will be bigger five times if there is no friction of interests. Other researchers investigating the role of corruption on bilateral trade activities are Anderson and Morcuouiller (2002), Gatti (2004), De Groot et al (2004, Berkowitz et al (2006), Nunn (2007), Levchenko (2007), Mohlaman et al (2010, Mejeed (204), Marjit et al (2014), Nunn and Trefler (2014), and Bandyopadhyay and Roy (2016).…”

This study aims to examine the impact of corruption on bilateral trade flows in developed and developing countries by using an extension of the gravity panel model. The model reviews 30 countries among which 19 are developed countries and 11 are developing ones, during the period of 1995-2016. For the impact of corruption on export activities, it appears that domestic level of corruption has insignificant effect upon bilateral export in both developed and developing countries, but the asymmetric effect of the partner country's corruption level is significantly apparent in the case of export. Positive effect from low level of partner countries' corruption in raising bilateral export is found to be greater for developing countries than for developed ones. The effect of corruption on bilateral imports tend to be similar to bilateral exports, however, it has been also found that low domestic corruption level in the reporting countries will positively affect import activities and that fact becomes more apparent for developing countries.

“…Subsequently, there have been new contributions to the topic. Concretely, there are advances in the study of geographical and commercial variables, such as Hau (1999), Alcalá and Ciccone (2004), Guttmann and Richards (2006), Ram (2009) and Marjit et al (2014). Other authors incorporate financial depth as a determinant, such as Svaleryda and Vlachos (2002) or Aizenman and Noy (2009).…”

The Andrew Young School of Policy Studies was established at Georgia State University with the objective of promoting excellence in the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policy. In addition to four academic departments, including economics and public administration, the Andrew Young School houses eight leading research centers and policy programs, including the International Center for Public Policy.The mission of the International Center for Public Policy (ICePP) at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies is to provide academic and professional training, applied research, and technical assistance in support of sound public policy and sustainable economic growth in developing and transitional economies.ICePP is recognized worldwide for its efforts in support of economic and public policy reforms through technical assistance and training around the world. This reputation has been built serving a diverse client base, including the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), finance ministries, government organizations, legislative bodies, and private sector institutions.The success of ICePP reflects the breadth and depth of its in-house technical expertise. The Andrew Young School's faculty are leading experts in economics and public policy and have authored books, published in major academic and technical journals, and have extensive experience in designing and implementing technical assistance and training programs. Andrew Young School faculty have been active in policy reform in over 40 countries around the world. Our technical assistance strategy is not merely to provide technical prescriptions for policy reform, but to engage in a collaborative effort with host governments and donor agencies to identify and analyze the issues at hand, arrive at policy solutions, and implement reforms.ICePP specializes in four broad policy areas:  Fiscal policy (e.g., tax reforms, public expenditure reviews)  Fiscal decentralization (e.g., reform, intergovernmental transfer systems, urban finance)  Budgeting and fiscal management (e.g., local, performance-based, capital, and multiyear budgeting)  Economic analysis and revenue forecasting (e.g., micro-simulation, time series forecasting)For more information about our technical assistance activities and training programs, please visit our website at icepp.

“…Marjit et al (2014) have studied this interaction between corruption and economic development in affecting trade openness of countries. Viewing corruption as a labor-intensive activity and by introducing corruption as a source of (negative) factor endowment in the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model of trade, they show that corruption distorts relative factor endowment of countries and thereby has impact on comparative advantage and resulting trade patterns.…”

This paper analyzes the effects of corruption on trade flows for a panel of nations. The novelty of the paper lies in our focus on trade flows at the industry level. Such a focus is important because the emerging literature on trade and institutions suggests that the pattern of comparative advantage between nations may be driven by international differences in institutions, among other factors. We find that exports of certain goods by the developed nations are negatively affected by higher domestic corruption in these nations. Interestingly, corruption in the trading partner also reduces exports of certain goods. Imports seem somewhat less vulnerable to corruption. The analysis uncovers considerable heterogeneity in the effects of corruption on different industries.
