Abstract

This study examines the degree of state ownership on corporate bribery. Integrating the theories of state ownership and corporate corruption, we propose that state ownership influences bribery propensity and bribery intensity in different ways; it lowers a firm's tendency to pay bribes but increases the relative amount of bribery payment. Building on the control rights/bargaining hypotheses, we demonstrate that state ownership shields firms from bribery demands by reducing administrative hurdles that include bureaucratic requirements of obtaining licenses or settling taxes in business operations. However, state ownership elevates the level of bribes by weakening their capital mobility. Using a sample of 23,018 firms from 54 countries covering 2006 to 2013, we find evidence to support our hypotheses. This article contributes to corruption research by drawing attention to an important channel of corruption and by highlighting the importance of considering not only the propensity but also the intensity of bribe payments.

17. Bribery behavior by state owned enterprises.

Author

Abstract

This article extends commercial bribery literature by drawing attention to the ignored phenomenon of SOE bribery and investigates institutional deficiencies that induce SOEs to bribe fellow public officials. We suggest that under weaker institutional environments, SOE managers are likely to have noneconomic motives of managerial rent extraction while bribing for the economic purpose of organizational goal attainment. We complement previous research on commercial bribery by adding the missing component of noneconomic bribery which supplements economic motivations of bribery to determine firms' actual bribery behavior, particularly for SOEs. Our empirical evidence shows that involvement of noneconomic motivations in SOE bribery systematically differentiates SOE bribery from extensively researched economic bribery and that institutions have a more salient impact in determining the tendency of SOE bribery.
