| 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. |
