      Inflation, Inflation Variability, and Corruption

      By: Miguel Braun and Rafael Di Tella
      We present a model where agents can inflate the cost of goods needed to start an investment project and inflation variability increases monitoring costs. We show that inflation variability can lead to higher corruption and lower investment. We document a positive... View Details
