Abstract: Corruption is a widespread problem that affects many countries across the world. Ethnicity and economic growth are two important factors that can influence corruption levels in a country. Corruption has a negative impact on economic growth, investment, and social development in several ways. This research aims to investigate the relationship between economic growth, ethnicity, and panel-country corruption levels. Specifically, it seeks to answer the question: do economic growth and ethnicity explain the differences in panel-country corruption levels? Most recently the IMF in its conditionality has used the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) to put conditions that are non-economic on Pakistan.
