<strong>of</strong>ficials. It can reduce the corruption if foreign aid helps to improve the shortages <strong>of</strong> revenues<br />

and <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the salaries <strong>of</strong> public employees.<br />

Axel et al, (2005) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that corruption has a negative impact on the level <strong>of</strong> GDP,<br />

economic growth, <strong>in</strong>vestment activity, <strong>in</strong>ternational trade and price stability. By the cross<br />

sectional study it was found that the cost <strong>of</strong> be<strong>in</strong>g more corrupt is really large.<br />

Bryan (1999) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that three cultural variables; high uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty avoidance, high<br />

mascul<strong>in</strong>ity means maleness, and high power distance are positively correlated with<br />

corruption. It was also found that government size has no relationship with corruption but the<br />

correlation seems between government size and corruption might be due to power distance<br />

variable. It was not found any evidence <strong>of</strong> relationship between unequal distribution <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>come and corruption.<br />

Andrei et al, (1993) argued that corruption is costly to economic development because <strong>of</strong> the<br />

failure <strong>of</strong> the government to control its agencies and departments form corruption. This<br />

happens when agencies have freedom to enter <strong>in</strong> regulations. The second reason is the<br />

misrepresentation <strong>of</strong> privacy <strong>of</strong> corruption. The requirement <strong>of</strong> confidentially can shift the<br />

countries <strong>in</strong>vestment from the highest value projects to useless projects.<br />

Kwabena (2002) argued that corruption is the factor that affects the economic growth and<br />

<strong>in</strong>come distribution that affect the poor more than rich. It is also <strong>in</strong>vestigated that corruption<br />

has an impact on the economic growth through the reduction <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>vestment.<br />

Carlos (2003) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that long run rate <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>flation and long run growth rate are<br />

adversely correlated with each other <strong>in</strong> a country; the correlation among these twos can be<br />

scanned by us<strong>in</strong>g the supernatural scrut<strong>in</strong>y, non structural, and low frequency <strong>of</strong> view po<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

Shang (2000) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that whether there is the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the tax rate or the corruption<br />

level, foreign direct <strong>in</strong>vestment will be effected. If there is the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> the tax rate on the<br />

mult<strong>in</strong>ational firm then the <strong>in</strong>vestor will avoid <strong>in</strong>vest<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> that country. Similarly the case<br />

with corruption rate, when the corruption rate is high <strong>in</strong> a country where <strong>in</strong>vestor is just<br />

look<strong>in</strong>g for foreign direct <strong>in</strong>vestment, he will switch his decision towards that country that will<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer low tax rate<br />

Mohsen et al, (2005) <strong>in</strong>vestigate that there is an impact <strong>of</strong> corruption on exchange rate. It was<br />

argued that corruption can <strong>in</strong>crease both the demand and supply <strong>of</strong> the foreign exchange <strong>in</strong> the<br />

black market; corruption has an impact on black market <strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> positive and negative. If<br />

there is the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> demand for foreign currencies then premium will <strong>in</strong>crease.<br />

Jakob (2005) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that the long-established methods to improve the governance<br />

system have not much ability to battle with the corruption. It was argued that trial<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> new<br />

apparatus and assessment <strong>of</strong> new apparatus to improve the answerability should be the priority<br />

<strong>of</strong> a researcher to become a rock <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong> the corruption.<br />

Philip (1997) <strong>in</strong>vestigated that the process <strong>of</strong> l<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g the happ<strong>in</strong>ess possessions <strong>of</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />

revolutions to s<strong>in</strong>cerity have no impact on the trade terms <strong>of</strong> the country but the relation can<br />

be due to imperfect competition and nom<strong>in</strong>al price <strong>in</strong>flexibility <strong>in</strong> the non-traded sector.<br />

Paolo (2004) found the affects <strong>of</strong> corruption by <strong>in</strong>vestigat<strong>in</strong>g the answers <strong>of</strong> two questions that<br />

were; why countries trapped <strong>in</strong> nasty loop <strong>of</strong> general corruption and low economic growth? If<br />

the cost <strong>of</strong> corruption is high then why many countries do not struggle to make <strong>in</strong>stitutions<br />

effective? Aga<strong>in</strong>st these questions it is found that <strong>in</strong>dividuals do no have the <strong>in</strong>ducement to<br />

fight with corruption.<br />
