Abstract EN

The present study aims to analyze the impact of corruption on economic development in the Arab States based on annual data between 2012- 2018.

Moreover, certain standard analyses were used to achieve this goal including the use of the Panel cross-sectional time series models on the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) as independent variables and per capita GDP as a dependent variable.

The study concluded that corruption had a negative impact on economic development, with several differences and disparities in the degree to which economic development among the Arab States is affected by, as result of several factors namely: the nature of the governmental system, where the monarchy was the most stable which distinguished the Gulf States from the rest of the Arab States, in addition to the deteriorating security situation in some Arab States that has exacerbated this phenomenon.
