| Abstract: | This paper aims to assess how laissez-faire trade policies and corruption affect national software piracy rates. Using invisible hand theory, as well as literature from the fields of international strategy and ethics, formal research hypotheses are posited and tested. The results suggest that corruption mediates the relationship btw. economic freedom and software piracy. |
