Abstract: This study examines the effect of corruption on green innovation. We employed a panel corrected standard error (PCSE) and robust checking system generalized moment of method (S-GMM) model on a panel sample of 61 OECD and non-OECD countries between 2010 and 2018. Our results show that corruption is significant and positively related to green innovation in 61 countries. Similarly, we find that corruption has an increasing impact on green innovation in non-OECD countries. However, in OECD countries, corruption reduces the likelihood of attaining green innovation. Our results are robust to alternative estimation. Therefore, our results extend the green innovation literature and informed policymakers of the need to pay attention to the effect of corruption.
