| Tiivistelmä: | Bribery in international (henceforth as: intl.) business transactions (as: trnacts.) can be seen as a function of both the demand for such bribes in different countries and the supply or willingness to provide bribes by multinational firms (MNEs) and their representatives. This study deals with the propensity of firms from 30 different countries to take part in intl. bribery. Both domestic and intl. factors are included in explaining the willingness to bribe abroad. It is found among others that the propensity to provide bribes is the lowest with corruption not being tolerated in the MNEs' home countries, with the firms' countries being signatories of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) anti-bribery convention, and with those countries trading heavily with wealthier nations. As to the culture, firms from high power distance countries show slightly greater propensity to provide bribes in trnacts. with less-developed nations. |
