Corruption is closely associated with unfair consequences. Most studies find a positive correlation between corruption and inequality. Not only petty corruption does cause huge losses, it also widens the gap between rich and poor members of the society. However, a few empirical findings explore the possibility of a negative relationship between corruption and inequality, and view it as a pro-poor redistribution mechanism. This lecture will review empirical and experimental findings, and explore how preferences for fairness can be used to influence corrupt behavior.
