Project description

The object of our study is the interplay between corruption and regional integration agreements (RIAs), which are agreements to remove barriers to trade (tariffs, laws, etc.) for a select group of countries. We seek to answer whether higher levels of corruption lead to more trade agreements and whether this means that RIAs create or eliminate opportunities for rent-seeking behavior.
