| description | Entrepreneurs in Asian economies face many difficulties in starting up and running their
businesses. Relationships with government officials help to, e.g., mobilise resources and
cope with the constraints imposed by bureaucratic structures. In this context, bribery can
be regarded as an investment that entrepreneurs need to make in order to operate
successfully in an institutionally weak transition economy. However, not all
entrepreneurs pay a bribe. In this paper the relationship between demographic
characteristic and bribery incidence has been investigated. This relationship was
estimated using unique data derived from a survey of 606 Vietnamese entrepreneurs. The
author controlled for various organisational and industrial characteristics. The
exploratory results show that in particular well-educated entrepreneurs are more
inclined to bribe than others. |
