The determinants of corruption in Italy: Regional panel data analysis (2007, neutral): “See also Paldam (2002).”
Corruption and legal (in)effectiveness: an empirical investigation (2003, methodology): “This index also has been used in a number of empirical studies (Treisman, 2000; Paldam, 2002; Swamy et al., 2001).”
Two views on institutions and development: The grand transition vs. the primacy of institutions (2008, neutral): “One interesting result of the empirical literature has been that the corruption index gives a rather weak and non-robust coefficient when included as a control variable in the reduced form equation (3), as shown e.g. in Paldam (2002).”
Differences in managerial discretion across countries: how nation‐level institutions affect the degree to which ceos matter (2011, background): “Recent research in economics (Freeman, 2002) and political science (Paldam, 2002) has also investigated the sources and implications of such country clusters.”
Propensities to engage in and punish corrupt behavior: Experimental evidence from Australia, India, Indonesia and Singapore (2009, background): “6 See Abbink (2005) for a comprehensive survey.”
Corruption, Institutions, and Economic Development (2009, background): “10 he shows that the correlation between the two types of measures is very weak and that many of the standard predictors of perceived corruption, such as democracy and press freedom (Treisman, 2000; Paldam, 2002) are mostly unrelated to the WBES index.”
Corruption and the Institutional Environment for Growth (2010, background): “We first describe our 7 Paldam (2002), Graeff and Mehlkop (2003), and Goel and Nelson (2005) have used the indexes of economic freedom to examine how economic freedom impacts corruption.”
Social Capital: One or Many? Definition and Measurement (2000, methodology): “The author uses the examples he knows, see Paldam (1983; 2000).”
Corruption and Productivity: Firm-level Evidence (2010, neutral): “Empirical evidence, especially at the micro 6 level, is generally not supportive of the efficient grease hypothesis3, with corruption found to increase the time spent by managers dealing with red tape (Kaufmann and Wei, 1999) and to hamper firm growth (Fisman and Svensson, 2007).”
Corruption, growth, and governance: Private vs. state-owned firms in Vietnam (2012, neutral): “, Herzfeld and Weiss, 2003), and legal origin, religion, and status of economic development (e.g., Treisman, 2000; Paldam, 2002).”
The transition of corruption: From poverty to honesty (2009, background): “Others (Treisman 2000; Paldam 2001, 2002) claim that corruption is a poverty driven disease that vanishes when countries develop, so that causality is mainly from income to corruption.”
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION: WHAT HAS PAST DECADE'S EMPIRICAL RESEARCH TAUGHT US? A SURVEY (2018, neutral): “This theory was supported by early empirical studies, which showed that increased economic freedom leads to lower corruption levels (Paldam, 2002).”
Rent seeking and the economics of corruption (2016, background): “The past 30 years have seen a massive empirical research effort aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of (pure) corruption (see, e.g., Paldam 2002; Lambsdorff 2005; Svensson 2005; Treisman 2007; Aidt 2011a).”
LEGAL CORRUPTION: LEGAL CORRUPTION (2011, background): “…important motivation for our exercise: it clearly states that corruption contributes to lower growth and tends to be associated with inefficiency.2 On a different stream, Ades and Di Tella (1999), Paldam (2002), and Treisman (2000) allotted their efforts to studying the determinants of corruption.”
