Generalised trust and relation centrism for corruption as perceived by firms: evidence from low- and middle- income countries

Generalised trust and relation centrism for corruption as perceived by firms: evidence from low- and middle- income countries
Generalised trust and relation centrism for corruption as perceived by firms: evidence from low- and middle- income countries

We investigate the role of generalised trust and relation centrism for corruption as perceived by 16,785 firms in 20 lower- and middle-income countries. This quantitative empirical research demonstrates that higher levels of family centrism and generalised trust are linked with more corruption as perceived by firms. The results however show significant regional disparities suggesting that firms will need to be aware of these differences, as they are likely to determine their optimal strategic choices when entering or expanding their operations into new territories.

Abstract

We investigate the role of generalised trust and relation centrism for corruption as perceived by 16,785 firms in 20 lower- and middle-income countries. This quantitative empirical research demonstrates that higher levels of family centrism and generalised trust are linked with more corruption as perceived by firms. The results however show significant regional disparities suggesting that firms will need to be aware of these differences, as they are likely to determine their optimal strategic choices when entering or expanding their operations into new territories.
