Abstract:
This study investigates how control of corruption and multidimensional poverty interact to affect provincial health outcomes in Viet Nam. Using panel data from 54 provinces over the period 2016–2023, under–five mortality is employed as dependent variable. Two corruption indicators are used varied perspective: corruption control perceived by firms and corruption control perceived by citizens. To estimate the data, the study applies OLS, FE model to interpret the main result. Results show that on one hand poverty has a negative influence on child mortality. Control of corruption decrease the rate. Moreover, stronger control is associated with a weaker relationship between poverty and child mortality. The findings imply that in order to improve healthcare performance in Viet Nam, it required higher level of accountability and poverty reduction in all dimensions.
