However, the use of<br \/>\ndistinct samples and indicators for corruption tends to hinder the\u00a0interpretation and outcomes of econometric assessments. The<br \/>\naims of this paper are to assess the extent to which the use of\u00a0distinct proxies for corruption provides diverse evidence regarding<br \/>\nthe relationship between corruption and FDI, and to assess\u00a0whether controlling for other indicators of institutional quality<br \/>\nreinforces the effect of corruption indicators on FDI inflows. In\u00a0order to accomplish these goals, we estimate a set of multivariate<br \/>\nlogistic models using 96 countries over the period 2000 to 2010.\u00a0The results evidence that using distinct proxies for corruption<br \/>\nvariables, as well as controlling for other types of the countries\u2019\u00a0institutional quality, generate distinct outcomes. In isolation, a<br \/>\ncountry\u2019s transparency and its citizens\u2019 corruption perceptions\u00a0fail to impact on FDI whereas a bribe-free environment is conducive<br \/>\nto FDI inflows. When we control for the human, social and\u00a0economic development of the countries, the impact of a transparent<br \/>\nand bribe-free context on FDI attraction is enhanced. Overall, it\u00a0is clear that in order to become a large recipient of FDI a country<br \/>\nhas to guarantee a transparent and bribe-free environment, characterized\u00a0by low income taxes, high literacy rates and generalized<br \/>\neconomic freedom (own labor and property control by citizens).<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEYWORDS<\/strong>\u00a0Foreign direct investment(FDI); corruption;institutional quality; proxies<\/p>\n<p>O artigo completo pode ser obtido via\u00a0B-on em:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/15228916.2015.1027881#.VbNOQPlViBY\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/15228916.2015.1027881#.VbNOQPlViBY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participa\u00e7\u00e3o: Aurora Teixeira Artigo publicado no Journal of African Business em coautoria\u00a0com Lu\u00eds Guimar\u00e3es<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-intervencoes_publicas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21280"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21361,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21280\/revisions\/21361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/obegef.pt\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
