Bigger governments raise the possibilities for corruption; more corruption may in turn raise the support for redistributive policies that intend to correct the inequality and injustice generated by corruption. We formalize these insights in a simple dynamic model. A positive feedback from past to current levels of taxation and corruption arises either when wealth Despite three decades of devastating civil conflict, Cambodia has achieved remarkable progress in reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity.

The correlation between corruption and inequality has been largely analysed in the literature in relation to the impact of corruption on economic growth and wealth distribution. This Heritage Day, Corruption Watch intern Lesedi Masoko reflects on the centuries of malfeasance and mismanagement by successive governments that have, cumulatively, brought our country to where it is today – our sad heritage of corruption.

Why Cambodia’s Government Cannot Win Its Fight Against Corruption As demonstrated by the scourge of hit-and-run violence on the nation’s roads, the political system rests on the idea that some Paldam (2002) includes income inequality as an explanatory variable in an empirical ‘corruption function’ but finds no robust relationship.

This leaves the majority of its population disillusioned and helpless, at the mercy of Hun Sen’s ‘nobility’.
