Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to show the impact of the quality of political institutions on economic growth: We will focus on developing countries. In this sense, we will try to have the link between corruption governance and economic performance in developing countries. At this level, we are dealing with an empirical study using panel data for a group of 30 developing countries over the period 1998-2011. Indeed, our results show that improving the quality of political institutions is associated with a decrease in the level of corruption and sustainable economic growth in developing countries. Finally, we conclude that the governance increases government accountabilities to citizens and also strengthens their commitment to policies chosen especially in the fight against corruption.
