Recent research by the Worldbank confirms this - in the box accompanying an ongoing online survey i stated that the fight against corruption and the improvement of the rule of law can increase national incomes by about 400% in the long term and decrease child mortality by 75%. The Worldbank calls this the 400 percent governance divident.
