Abstract
Many empirical studies investigate relationship between democracy and corruption by
considering democratic and non-democratic regimes. There are many economies which
are not fully democratic and autocratic, so there is a dire need to explore these
relationships in case of other two categories of political regimes, such as flawed
democracies and hybrid regime. Does this relationship equally hold in these political
regimes? This study gauges out the linkages between corruption and economic growth
for all plausible cases of political regimes. Empirical analysis includes sample of 159
countries based on different political regimes, consisting on 20 full democracies, 55
flawed democracies, 39 hybrid regime, and 53 authoritarian regimes. The data are taken
from the period of 2006 to 2019. The sophisticated empirical Bayesian estimation
procedure is employed to explore the association between growth and socio-economic
variables. The results indicate that corruption in case of mature democracies has no
significant effect on economic growth While in autocracies has significant positive effect
on economic growth. However, corruption has negative effect on economic growth in
flawed democracies and hybrid regime.
