"Despite\t the\t global\t boom\t in\t skyscraper\t development,\t the\t drivers\t of\t skyscraper\t\r\ndevelopment are\t still somewhat poorly\t understood.\t In\t particular,\t recent\t research\t raises\t the\t\r\nquestion\tof\twhether\tnon-economic\tfactors\talso\tdetermine\tthe\tdecision\tto\tbuild\tskyscrapers.\tSome\r\nresearchers have\t conceptualized the\t skyscraper\t as\t an\t expensive\t and\t socially\t wasteful\t “white\t\r\nelephant”\t project\t and suggested\t an\t association\t between\t corruption\t and\t skyscraper\t\r\ndevelopments.\tThis\t study\t conducts\t research\tinto\t the\t role\t of\t corruption\tin\t the\tdevelopment\t of\t\r\nskyscrapers\tand\thypothesizes that\ta\tlow\tcontrol\tof\tcorruption allows\tto\tmore\teasily\trealize\tsuch\t\r\nprojects. The\t skyscraper\t data is\t drawn\t from\t a\t global\t dataset\t recording\t various\t features\t of\t\r\nskyscrapers\tfor\tover\t50 developed\tand\temerging countries worldwide and\tthe\tcorruption\tdata is\t\r\ndrawn\t from\t an\t established\t corruption\t index.\t The\t results\t show\t that\t skyscraper\t development\t\r\ndiffused\tfrom\tthe\tleast\tcorrupt\tcountries\tto\tmore\tcorrupt\tcountries\tbetween\t1996 and\t2019.\tIn\t\r\naddition,\ta relation between\tthe\tcontrol\tof\tcorruption\tand\tskyscraper\tdevelopment is\talso\tfound,\t\r\nalthough\ta\tpositive\tone\tfor\tall\tcountries\tand\ta\tnegative\tone\tfor\temerging\tmarket\tcountries.\tThis\t\r\nmeans\t that worldwide\t a\t decrease\t of corruption\t increases skyscraper\t developments, while\t in\t\r\nemerging\t market\t countries\t a\t decrease of\t corruption\t results\t in\t a\t decrease\t of skyscraper\r\ndevelopment. The\t role\t of\t corruption\tin\t skyscraper\t development\t thus\t depends\t on\t the\t stage\t of\t\r\ndevelopment\tof\ta\tcountry.\tFinally,\tgiven\tthe\tseverity of\tcorruption\tand the\tfact\tthat\tmajor\tcapital\t\r\nand\tpower\tis\tinvolved in\tthe\tdevelopment\tof\tskyscrapers, this\tstudy’s\tfindings further\tunderline\r\nthe\t importance\t of\t making\t corruption\t a more central\t element\t in\t both\t real\t estate\t theory\t and\t\r\npractice."^^ .
