Abstract:
|
In the last two decades, cases of corruption have been unveiled in different countries,
raising public awareness and reinforcing a trend in which society expects more from their
leaders. Our objective in this paper is to examine the effects of corruption and seigniorage
on inflation and growth rates. The model used in this article is an extension of the model
used by Huang and Wei (2006). We find interesting results and one of them is that, under
some conditions, corruption has a positive impact on the growth rate.
