UDADISIが山村英司・西南学院大学経済学部教授のPublic Choice論文「Impact of natural disaster on public sector corruption」(WP)を紹介している*1。
UDADISIは結論部から以下の文章を引用している。
The major findings of this study are the following. (1) Natural disasters lead the public sector to become corrupt. (2) Floods have a significant effect on corruption; however, other types of disaster do not exhibit such effects. This indicates that disasters that are foreseeable but that do not threaten life trigger strategic behavior in the victims. In addition, damage is limited to specific areas, which triggers the formation of interest groups. That is, people living in an area in which floods occur frequently anticipate disaster compensation, which leads to a moral hazard problem. (p. 15).
