英文文献摘要：
Purpose – This paper assesses the determinants of corruption-control with freedom dynamics (economic, political, press and trade), government quality and a plethora of socio-economic factors in 46 African countries using updated data. Design/methodology/approach – A quantile regression approach is employed while controlling for the unobserved heterogeneity. Principal component analysis is also used to reduce the dimensions of highly correlated variables. Findings – With the legal origin fundamental characteristic, the following findings have been established. (1) While political freedom increases corruption-control (CC) in a bottom quantile of English common law countries, there is no such evidence in their French civil law counterparts. (2) Government quality consistently improves CC across all quantiles in English common law countries but fails to exert the same effect in middle quantiles of French civil law countries. (3) Economic freedom ameliorates CC only in common law countries with low existing CC levels (bottom quantiles). (4) We find no significant evidence of a positive ‘press freedom’-CC nexus and having the status of Low income English common law (French civil law) countries decreases (increases) CC. From a religious domination scenario, we also find the following. (1) Political and trade freedoms only reduce CC in Christian dominated countries while press freedom has a mitigation effect in both religious cultures (though more consistent across quantiles of Christian-oriented countries). (2) Government quality is more pro-CC in Christian than in Muslim-dominated countries. (3) While economic freedom has a scanty negative nexus with CC in Christian-oriented countries, the effect is positive in their Muslim-dominated counterparts. (4) Having a low-income status in countries with Christian common law tradition improves CC. Originality/value – We complement the literature on the fight against corruption in Africa by employing recently documented additional factors that should be considered in corruption studies.
目的-本文利用最新数据评估了46个非洲国家腐败控制的决定因素(经济、政治、新闻和贸易)、政府质量和过多的社会经济因素。设计/方法/方法——在控制未观察到的异质性的同时，采用分位数回归方法。主成分分析也被用来降低高度相关变量的维数。调查结果-具有法律来源的基本特征，以下调查结果已被确立。(1)在英国普通法国家中，政治自由增加了腐败控制(CC)，但在法国大陆法国家中却没有这样的证据。(2)英国普通法国家的政府质量在各分位数上CC不断提高，但在法国大陆法国家的中分位数上CC却没有达到同样的效果。(3)经济自由仅在现有成本控制水平(最低分位数)较低的普通法国家才能改善成本控制。(4)我们没有发现显著的证据表明，“新闻自由”与CC之间存在积极的关系，而英国普通法(法国民法)国家的低收入地位降低(增加)了CC。从宗教统治场景中，我们还发现以下情况。(1)政治和贸易自由只会降低基督教主导的国家的CC，而新闻自由在两种宗教文化中都有缓解CC的作用(尽管在以基督教为主导的国家中更一致)。(2)与穆斯林占主导地位的国家相比，基督教国家的政府质量更倾向于cc。(3)在以基督教为主导的国家，经济自由与基督教中心只有少量的负相关关系，但在以穆斯林为主导的国家，经济自由的影响是积极的。(4)在有基督教普通法传统的国家中拥有低收入地位，可以提高CC。独创性/价值——我们采用最近记录的其他腐败研究中应考虑的因素，补充了有关非洲反腐败斗争的文献。
