Abstract This study investigates the relationship between innovation and perceived corruption using data from 131 countries. We employ a cross-sectional analysis and find that innovation is positively significant in reducing corruption. Innovation causes the industries and private sectors to become less dependent on the favoritism from the public officials and authorities as they are more encouraged to innovate to gain the competitive advantage.

Keywords: Innovation, corruption, cross sectional analysis.
