I don’t think that addresses my comment. I’m not talking about corruption as a general phenomenon being correlated with higher growth. I’m talking about corruption being a political phenomenon and anti-corruption being a cause-blind political intervention. Without local knowledge you don’t know if you’re improving things or not. Political economy doesn’t equal economics. But thanks, useful article!
