摘要：
The empirical relationship between corruption and economic freedom at the country level is complex, with the relationship varying depending on whether a country is rich or poor. I find a similar relationship among states within the US. I estimate a fixed-effects Poisson regression model of state-level corruption-conviction rates and find a significant and negative interaction effect of economic freedom and economic development on corruption. For states with low levels of economic development, economic freedom increases corruption, while the opposite is true for states with high levels of economic development.
