Abstract

We estimate the impact of corruption on growth of output per worker in US states We improve on existing studies of the cost of corruption by using a better specified empirical model focusing on a study population that is less likely to be affected by parameter heterogeneity and controlling for endogeneity using political variables to instrument for corruption We find that corruption plays a significant and causal role in lowering growth and investment across the states
