报告摘要：This paper investigates the effect of corruption on health outcomes by using recent cross-country panel data covering about 150 countries for the period of 1995 to 2012. By employing OLS, fixed effects model and 2SLS methods to cross check the results to different model specifications, it is found that corruption significantly increases mortality rates, reduce life expectancy, immunization rates and fertility rate. The results are quite consistent across different regions, different gender, and different measures of corruption. The findings suggest that corruption reduction itself is an effective method to improve health outcomes. Many other interesting findings are documented.
