A Very Short History of Corruption Research and a List of What We Should Aim For
Although globalisation is seen by many as the key economic trend, restrictions on international capital movements remain the norm in international finance. In 1996, 144 out of 186 countries maintained capital controls (IMF). Yet the vast majority of economists object to most controls on capital movement, arguing that they distort the allocation of capital and allow opportunities for fraud. What leads governments to impose restrictions on international capital movements? In this study of capital controls, Gunther Schulze uses a public choice model to explain this behaviour. He considers the many aspects of capital controls, including: quantitative measurements of capital controls, evasion, misinvoicing, the interaction between an investigating government and an evader, and the role capital controls play in helping governments meet their macroeconomic objectives. In addition to the theoretical and policy discussions the book also contains a comprehensive survey of the existing literature.
Although globalization is seen by many as the key economic trend of recent times, restrictions on international capital movements remain the norm in international finance. In this, the first comprehensive study of capital controls, Gunther Schulze uses a public choice model to explain their role. Presenting original research, as well as comprehensive surveys of the existing literature (including monetary economics, international economics, public economics and public choice) this book will be vital reading for policy professionals as well as researchers and upper level students in a wide range of disciplines.
