Abstract

Does increasing the presence of women in government lead to less corruption, or does corruption prevent the presence of women? Are these effects significant enough in one or both directions? This paper has used the dynamic panel data approach (GMM-SYSTEM) and statistical data of 89 countries including Iran during the period of 2008-2017. So, This paper by Estimating Relationship Between Corruption and Gender Indicators answered the above questions.
The results of estimating systems indicate that government institution is a missing loop in relationship between corruption and gender and its effects are statistically significant
