Corruption and legal (in)effectiveness: an empirical investigation (2003, background): “Similar to Lipset and Lenz (1999), Treisman (2000) and Paldam (2001), we find that the larger the proportion of Protestants in a country’s population as of 1980 (PROT), the lower is corruption perceived to be.”
How corruption affects persistent capital flows (2003, background): “Countries with a large share of Protestants have been found to exhibit lower levels of corruption, see Treisman (2000), Paldam (2001) and Lambsdorff (2002b).”

In particular, it has been argued that Protestant ethics and traditions serve as a deterrent to corruption because, among other reasons, of their focus on the individual and the willingness to question state authority (see La Porta et al. 1999; Paldam 2001; Pellegrini and Gerlagh 2008; Treism”
CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION: WHAT HAS PAST DECADE'S EMPIRICAL RESEARCH TAUGHT US? A SURVEY (2018, unknown): “, Anglican and Protestant) and tribal religions decreased levels of corruption, whereas Catholicism and Islam increased levels of corruption (Paldam, 2001).”
