Crime and corruption in transitional economies: lessons for Cuba

Journal of Economic Policy Reform, 2003, vol. 6, issue 2, 71-87

Abstract: Trends in aggregate crime rates across Europe reveal significant increases in crime in transitional countries. We identify causal mechanisms associated with the economic transition. Historical experience of corruption in the Soviet Union is reviewed, and connections between corruption and transition are analyzed. We apply the results to Cuba's current circumstances, examining the potential for growth in crime and corruption in Cuba and suggesting policies to ameliorate it.
