Is there a trade-off between income inequality and corruption? Evidence from Latin America (2009)
Journal Article
Dobson, S., & Ramlogan-Dobson, C. (2010). Is there a trade-off between income inequality and corruption? Evidence from Latin America. Economics letters, 107(2), 102-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2009.12.038

In contrast to other research, lower corruption is associated with higher income inequality. This result is consistent with the idea that the corruption-inequality relationship may be different where there is a large informal sector, as in Latin Amer...
