Econometric techniques like cointegration, error correction models, and Granger causality tests are standard tools used in empirical research to evaluate causal relationships involving corruption and economic indicators.

The analysis

The claim posits that econometric methods can determine causality between price levels and corruption. The retrieved papers include several empirical studies that apply advanced econometric techniques (such as Granger causality, ARDL, and error correction models) to investigate causal relationships involving corruption indices alongside macroeconomic and price-related variables (such as tax rates, oil rents, and general economic factors). Although the specific pairing of price levels and corruption is addressed tangentially or as part of broader macroeconomic models rather than as a standalone isolated topic in every paper, the general methodological claim that econometrics can establish causality for these variables is directly supported by the literature.
