This is because corruption will affect economic growth at a greater scale as the world is becoming more globalized. There is no exact relationship between corruption and economic growth as the locations, methods, data, and time periods are different for each study.

In this paper, a series of econometric tests are conducted based on the combination of test variables and control variables. The variables included gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, GDP per capita, population, investment, trade openness, and political freedom and corruption. In addition, the relationship is identified through Levin, Lin, and Chu (LLC) Unit Root Test, Pooled Mean Group (PMG) Method, and Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) Estimator.
