Sommario/riassunto

This paper asks whether corruption might be the outcome of a lack of outside options for public officials or civil servants. We propose an occupational choice model embedded in an agency framework to address the issue. We show that technology-induced private sector expansion leads to a decline in publicly supplied corruption as it provides outside options to public officials who might otherwise engage in corruption. We provide empirical evidence that strongly shows that technology-induced private sector development is associated with a decline in aggregate corruption. This suggests that the decline in publicly supplied corruption outweighs the potential increase in privately supplied corruption that could result from private sector expansion.

Sommario/riassunto

Zinovij Zinik emigrierte in den 70er Jahren aus der Sowjetunion über Israel nach Großbritannien, wo er sich in London niederließ. Das Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit bezieht sich in seiner Formulierung auf einen Essay von Zinik mit dem Titel "Emigracija kak literaturnyj priem" ("Emigration als literarisches Verfahren"), in dem er die Bedeutung des freiwilligen Exils für sein Werk selbst reflektiert.
