  1. Countries are divided into high and low corruption countries based on the median CI scores of 6.8. Countries with a corruption score above 6.8 are classified as high corruption country while countries with corruption score below the median are classified as low corruption country. We divide the sample into high and low economic freedom based on their median score derived from the Economic Freedom Index provided by the Heritage Foundation. Finally, we have performed a fixed effect regression based on the model described in Table 6. Asterisk *, ** and *** represent significance level at 10, 5 and 1% respectively
