| description | China's recent economic growth, along with rising corruption, challenges the widespread sanding wheels view of corruption. The lack of a general theory linking corruption and development prevents us from disentangling China's paradox. This paper aims to fill in this gap by providing the changing wheels hypothesis, which conceptualizes the relationship between corruption and growth from an institutional perspective. This theory reconciles previous conflicting findings on corruption and explains the changing role of corruption in the process of China's recent development. |
