To evaluate the impact of economic, political, and legal variables on national corruption control across emerging Asian economies.
Analyzed panel data spanning 2002 to 2023 across nine Emerging Asian nations.
Applied the Panel System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) with robustness checks via common, fixed, and random effects models.
Foreign direct investment, freedom of speech and accountability, the rule of law, and female parliamentary representation significantly support corruption control.
Higher gross domestic product and inflation hinder corruption control, indicating that rapid economic growth can outpace institutional governance capacity.
