Corruption, provincial institutions and manufacturing firm productivity New evidence from a transitional economy = Corrupción, instituciones provinciales y productividad manufacturera Nueva evidencia para una economía en transición
Using
data from nationwide surveys of provincial institutions and private
manufacturing small medium enterprises, this study provided the first
evidence of the impact of provincial institution quality and firms’
participation in and intensity of corrupt activities on firm
productivity in Vietnam. We found that the bribe intensity instead of
whether firms bribed state officials or not (measured by a dummy
variable) has a negative effect on firm productivity when the
endogeneity of corruption and unobservable characteristics are
controlled for. This finding contrasts to a popular belief about a
paradox for East Asian countries where corruption is positively
associated with firm growth.
