Abstract
Corruption is one of the biggest global issues despite poverty, unemployment,
income level and terrorism. In this study, we concern on (i) the role of press
freedom toward corruption, (ii) whether the rule of law is a mechanism for press
freedom to influence the level of corruption and (iii) the intensity of rule of law in
different background of countries on the impact of corruption. The panel
regression model is based on a cross-section of 95 countries from the period of
2005 until 2014 and Fixed Effect Model (FEM) has been used as a tool for the
estimation purpose. The empirical result shows that the rule of law and press
freedom are both highly complementing to one another in controlling the
corruption in each country. Lastly, we suggest that the rule of law needed to
surpass with a minimum value in order to capture the effect of press freedom on
corruption as one of the policy implication.
