| Title: | | Taxation, corruption and the exchange rate regime  |
| Authors: | | Hefeker, Carsten |
| Issue Date: | | 2008 |
| Series/Report no.: | | HWWI Research Paper 2-12 |
| Abstract: | | The paper analyzes the relation between institutional quality, such as corruption, in a country and its monetary regime. It is shown that a credibly fixed exchange rate to a low inflation country, like a currency board, can reduce corruption and improve the fiscal system. A monetary union, however, has ambiguous effects. I find that there is convergence between countries with regard to the level of corruption. |
