development in many countries. These practices increase costs, decrease fair competition
and represent a significant deterrent to foreign investment. Previous studies have showed
that corruption tends to have negative impact on foreign direct investment (FDI) but only
few studies have investigated the possibility of effects in the opposite direction. This
paper attempts to find the relationship between corruption and FDI with two ways:
assess the effect of inflows of FDI, as a measure of trade openness, on corruption at the
country level and also attempts to see the effect of corruption on FDI. It conducts
regression analysis on a cross section of six ASEAN countries over the period 1997 to
2005 and controls for some other variables likely to impact on corruption as well as FDI.
The result shows that there’s significant impact of corruption on inflows of FDI, and in
opposite indicated that inflows of FDI is significant with the lower level of corruption in
six ASEAN countries.
