The cost of PA corruption is monumental. More than anything else, it makes Palestinian political and economic progress all but impossible. The poor quality of governance and the resulting lack of political inclusiveness and economic opportunities in the Palestinian territories are a surefire model for the kind of economic and political repression that typifies underperforming societies. You will not find a single example of a people governed by such a regime that has achieved long-term success. The inevitable result is social stagnation and the kind of discontent that can lead to violence .
Government jobs, which are prized due to the weak private economy, are awarded on the basis of cronyism rather than merit:

The first reference is from Elliot Abrams
He is currently a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.Additionally, Abrams holds positions on the Committee for Peace and Security in the Gulf (CPSG), Center for Security Policy & National Secretary Advisory Council, Committee for a Free Lebanon, and the Project for the New American Century. Abrams is a current member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council and teaches foreign policy at Georgetown University as well as maintaining a CFR blog called "Pressure Points" about U.S. foreign policy and human rights.In February 2014, Abrams, a commissioner of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, gave testimony before a House congressional committee that Christians globally are the most persecuted of the world religions.
Of course he is Jewish so I supose you only want academic literature from non Jewish sources ?
The 'biased ' Israeli newspaper is the left wing Haaretz one you are happy to quote when it suits you ,
In fact you would not recognise 'scholarly academic literature' if it jumped up and bit you on the rear although it might affect your ability to talk
