The economic cost of the institutional quality deficit and corruption in Spain
Project start date: 2016
Year of publication: 2018
Funding institution: Fundación BBVA
This report has two main objectives: first, to compare institutional quality and perceived levels of corruption in Spain with those in other countries around the world, particularly the main European economies; and second, to make a rough estimate of the cost of the country’s institutional quality deficit in terms of economic development. The analysis also includes a review of some of the main challenges related to the institutional framework and governance in Spain and sets out lines of action that could lead to improvements in these areas.
