In this process, the problem of corruption for countries has become an important problem that causes both economic and commercial losses. Accordingly, it is analyzed the effects of custom tariffs, international trade and economic growth on corruption in BRICS-T countries that are named emerging economies within the scope of the paper. The long-term relationships between the variables are analyzed with Westerlund panel cointegration tests. According to the results of the analysis, it is determined that there are long-term relationships between exports, imports, custom tariffs, gross domestic product (GDP) and corruption. After determining the long-term relationships between the variables, causality analyses have carried out in order to reveal the direction of these relationships. According to the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test results, it has been determined that there are unidirectional causality relationships from custom tariffs, imports and gross domestic product to corruption.
