| ''Is the effect of corruption on entrepreneurial activity nonmonotonic? A semi-parametric panel data analysis'' |

| We investigate the impact of corruption on entrepreneurial activity in the OECD countries by using a semi-parametric panel data model developed in Robinson (1988). We argue that this relationship exhibits a nonmonotonic shape with multiple turning points. Our findings are robust to different measures of corruption and alternative dimensions of entrepreneurship. |
