Notes:

Estimations are PPML CPFE and CYFE. Only variables related to corruption are presented. Exp: Exporter. Imp: Importer. Hinc: High income. Minc: Middle income. Linc: Low income. RTA: Regional Trade Agreement. In the case of the SCI index there is not any pair composed by a high income country and a low income one that form a RTA; *significant at 10%; **significant at 5%, ***significant at 1%
