Chapter 7 Corruption and the Provision of Public Goods^'>[1]

Abstract

Governments worldwide lose annually more than 5% of global GDP due to corruption and a similar amount due to tax avoidan-ce.This implies that about 10% of global GDP is not being spent on public goods,thus decreasing its quantity and/or quality and trapping countries into a vicious cycle.Although both problems are usually treated separately,they are very much related.Tax revenue is lower in countries where the perception of corruption is higher,suggesting that the adverse effect of corruption is larger than expected.In this chapter,we explore this interaction empirically using Colombian municipal data and gather evidence from other developing countries，confirming that the impact of corruption on the provision of public goods amplifies once tax contribution is considered.
