Abstract

This article attempts to give a descriptive study of the variation in Tunisian foreign trade followed by a change in the institutional quality measured by the perception index of corruption during the period 1999-2012. As a result, corruption affects Tunisia's foreign trade, and it has been found that the choice of trading partners guides the degree of corruption combined.
