SOTO ZAZUETA, IRVIN MIKHAIL  y  CORTEZ, WILLY W. The Impact of Political Alternation on Corruption in Mexico. Rev. cienc. polít. (Santiago) [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.2, pp.371-392. ISSN 0718-090X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-090X2015000200006.

We carry out an empirical analysis to evaluate the likely effects of political alternation on corruption in Mexico after controlling for a set of economic and educational variables. We estimate the relevant coefficients from a panel data set for the period 2001-2010. We find evidence that actual political alternation restrains corruption.

Palabras clave : Corruption; political alternation; political competition; panel data; Mexico.
