Corruption, nonperforming loans, and economic growth: International evidence

This paper explores the impact of corruption on both the banking sector and economic growth; we determine the impact using aggregate data from the World Bank covering 120 countries over the period 2004–2017. The results of 3SLS regressions show that the relationship between corruption and the ratio...
