Analysis of the Effects of Corruption on Oil Revenues in the Republic of Congo

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of corruption on oil revenues in the Republic of Congo over the period from 2003 to 2023. To achieve our objective, we used the ARDL model. The results from this model revealed that corruption has a significant negative effect on oil revenues in the long and short term in the Republic of Congo. Based on this, these results allowed us to formulate some implications for economic policies, including strengthening the rule of law and the efficient management of public resources as well as trengthening governance policies.
