Abstract
|
|
|
|
|
Within the host country environment, the
levels of corruption in a country's institutional
structures influence the behavior of foreign-owned
subsidiaries. Our empirical results suggest that
countries with the ability to reduce corruption in their
institutional structures have common socioeconomic
characteristics.
