الفساد و النمو الاقتصادي

Abstract

Corruption nowadays becomes distinguishing feature of
government administration in many countries. The political cover of
government position contributes in spreading and growing this
phenomenon.
The dramatic change in the picture or the concepts of corruption
provokes many interested bodies to deal with it seriously, the
controversy concentrated on the development of government
establishments, modernization of economic polices, and protection of
public capital.
The main objectives of the paper are to explore the global map of
corruption and its trend during the first decade of the 21st century, and
identifying the economic cost especially on growth. Both approaches, i.e.
descriptive and statistical, will be employed in order to achieve these
goals.
The paper finds that there is a variation in the level of corruption
between countries. European and American countries posses the lowest
level, whereas the other states have the highest level.It appears that it is
easy to reject the null hypothesis of independency of corruption and
economic growth. It appears that there are patterns of relation between
corruption and growth.
