Notes:

For CPI and SCI, a higher value implies less corruption and for SCI the contrary occurs. EXP_INT: Export intensity, constructed for the sample 1975-2012. The mean of this variable is calculated taking into account also the zero values. Sample period: 1995-2012 for CPI; 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002 to 2012 for CCI and 1978, 1983, 1988 and 1994 for SCI
