Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Spurred by the creation of Corruption Perception Index (CPI) by Transparency International (TI), recent studies have sought to explain why countries have different levels of corruption through large-N cross-national analyses. To further contribute to the understanding of the cross-national variations in corruption levels, this paper utilizes a large cross-sectional data set that is recently available to evaluate previous findings as well as testing Huntington�s theory regarding modernization and corruption. There are three major findings through an OLS regression. First, greater government intervention in the economy is associated with higher levels of corruption. Second, the relationship between democracy and corruption is polynomial. Democracy does not inhibit corruption and countries in transition from authoritarian regimes to democracies have higher levels of corruption, ceteris paribus. Third, the modernization hypothesis is moderately supported in the empirical test. Countries with faster developing economies tend to have higher levels of corruption, ceteris paribus.
