Abstract:
This study seeks to assess the current state of knowledge and contribute to the understanding of how fiscal policies and management interact with corruption issues by integrating concrete and practical issues with theoretical and quantitative analysis of their nature and consequences. The study presents a comprehensive analysis of corruption that not only highlights the problems, but also potential solutions for a broad range of fiscal policy and fiscal reform issues. The analysis and discussion is supported and clarified by relevant real-world examples and empirical analysis. In particular, country-specific examples prove to be quite useful to identify key issues or valuable lessons in minimizing corruption.
