Abstract

In this research our attention was given to factors that define the degree of corruption (in the single state) or what generates corruption. In the case of five independent states of the former Yellow-black monarchy it will be found out how some macroeconomic pointers can influence the degree of corruption (in what part they influence). In this research it was found out with the analysis of the panel data between the years 2003 and 2011 how the degree of corruption is influenced by the GDP, unemployment and the height of the average net revenue. As it was descovered that the right factors have been chosen, because it was found out that all three (3) macroeconomic pointers represent 87.29% of all the influences on the perception of corruption. The most impact on corruption has the degree of unemployment so it can be concluded that the perception of corruption is determined by negative effects on the standard of citizens (lower income, more unemployment).
