Description
Summary:Objective: to determine the extent and direction of dependence between the corruption level and its determinants in Central and East European countries. Methods: cointegration regression Engle Granger analysis foe panel data, based on the extended unit root Dickey-Fuller tests and Choi meta-tests. Results: according to our model, joining the European Union and forming the more powerful parliamentary coalitions favorably influences corruption in the countries of the region. On the contrary, membership in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, centralization of power in the hands of a president and increasing the number of parties, as well as growth of incomes inequality lead to the growt of corruption. Scientific novelty: corruption determinants in Central and East European countries are determined at regional level for 1975–2012. Practical value: possibility to better understand the negative public phenomena in Central and East Europe, which would allow to optimize the anti-corruption policy in these countries in future.
