State border corruption and illegal migration: A model

Ted Lundgren and Petr Lappo

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

In a theoretical model, it is shown how a border guard authority should optimally allocate budgetary resources to oblasts in presence of corruption, so as to minimise the general average number of illegal migrants.
