Abstract

Corruption is a significant challenge in the global economy, impacting countries' development prospects at both national and international levels. Various factors, such as Innovation, country size, government expenditure, human capital, commercial openness, and natural resource rents, influence the prevalence of corruption. This study investigates the convergence of factors influencing the spread of corruption in selected Islamic countries using a dynamic spatial panel approach from 2008 to 2022. Results confirm spatial proximity effects, with a low convergence speed averaging 0.052. Additionally, findings indicate direct and indirect negative effects of Innovation on the spread of corruption in these countries
