Collusion Among Interest Groups: Foreign Aid and Rent-Dissipation

Jakob Svensson

Working Papers from Stockholm - International Economic Studies

Abstract: This paper develops a game-theoretic model of public policy in a developing country in order to explain a number of empirical regularities. It is shown that under certain circumstances, and increase in government revenue will be completly crowded out by incresed rent dissipation, leaving the provision of public goods unaltered.
