Özet: The study aims to test whether internet usage has a reducing impact on corruption or not for 164 countries in the period of 2012-2018 by dynamic panel data analysis. Also, per capita income, voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence and the rule of law are added to the model as independent variable and their effects on corruption are analysed. In parallel with this purpose, system GMM is preferred. The empirical results obtained from the study support the hypothesis that internet usage reduces corruption.
