Abstract: Corruption is a worldwide problem and is actively discussed in many governments and academic circles.Since the private ownership appeared,the corruption mode has being changed accompanied with the emergence of nations and social classes.The previous empirical studies on the corruption were focused on the relations between corruption and economic factors,but few were concentrated on the link between corruption and social or political factors.In this paper,good indicators,which include six dimensions of government rule of law,government effectiveness,political stability,voice and accountability,regulation quality and corruption control,from World Bank are used for this study.Taking corruption control as a dependent variable and other factors as independent variable,the stepwise regression method is utilized to mine the relations between corruption and other factors.It is concluded that the corruption is closely correlated with rule of law,improving the law is an important approach to control the corruption problem.Moreover the government efficiency is closely correlated with the corruption control.It appears that improving government effectiveness might be helpful to the corruption control.
