Resumen:
The regulation of the state within the economic sphere has been quite harmful in view of the
analisys of indicators that work on corruption. The losses brought about regulatory
interventions have been undermining the gains of agents involved in negotiations between the
public and the private sectors, forcing them to maximize their gains in other ways, almost
always in na underhand manner. Thus, this research raised the hypothesis that ecnomic
regulation through state barriers impacts on corruptio, based on the analysis that less regulated
countries are better positioned in the corruption perception index. The research adopted na N
of 180 (one hundred and eighty) countries within the years 2013 to 2020. A dependent variable,
corrption perception index, and four independet variables, tax burden, business freedom,
freedom of trade and opening of trade were selected. The paths taken for the analysis were of
description, correlation and regression of the variables, only in relation to theyear 2020. The
results presented in the statistical analysis confirmed the discussed hypotesis, showing that the
countries that are better positioned in the economic freedom indexes are also better positioned
in the corruption perception index. Therefore, the results confirmed the literature studied.
