Travail de recherche/Working paper
| Résumé : | We study a game where inefficiencies in public procurement managed by politicians comefrom two sources: corruption (moral hazard) and incompetence (adverse selection). We characterizethe respective impact of judicial and accounting courts on the cost effectiveness ofprocurement and the level of corruption. Although improving the quality of both courts mattersas a direct deterrent of corruption, it may also indirectly decrease the quality of the poolof politicians and hence deteriorates the cost efficiency of procurement. |
