An Assessment of Income Inequality and Administrative Corruption in Less Developed Countries: The Case of Mexico
Abstract
Corruption has been present in government institutions since ancient Greece. It is also widespread around the world. There is a plethora of research on this topic, with many different approaches. Most of the time, the term corruption encompasses different activities in the public and private areas. In the first case, illegal activities involve a public official, while in the second case an illegal activity is performed by individuals or companies that are not related to government. For this reason private corruption is considered to be not as important as public corruption. However, in private corruption, as in public corruption, a relation of power between the involved parts is present and its development process is the same. Public corruption draws greater attention because the negative effects of corruption are reflected in governments’ performance and development.
