Abstract
This paper systematically reviews the literature on corruption and anti-corruption in China with a view to identifying opportunities for future research. We find that the research on corruption in China covered in existing literature is relatively narrow and theoretically insufficient. Specifically, studies mainly examine the corruption in firms, certain micro fields, and political fields; by contrast, studies on corruption in macro fields are scarce. In addition, extant studies on anti-corruption in China largely centre on examining the impact of the current anti-corruption campaign on firms, while analysis on the effects of anti-corruption policy actions by the Chinese government is inadequate.
