  • After Enron Will 'Whiter than White Collar Crime' Still Wash?
    In thinking about white-collar crime, it is not just crime that becomes problematic but compliance, particularly the practice of 'creative compliance'. This article asks, in the post-Enron era, can creative compliance by business still claim to be 'whiter than white collar crime'?...

  • Corruption, Firm Governance, and the Cost of Capital
    We develop a model of a firm owned by shareholders and administered by managers who may be either honest or dishonest. When managers have an informational advantage but shareholders retain control, dishonest managers can make false reports that distort investment and thereby reduce firm cash flows. When dishonest managers have privileged access to both information and control, firm value is further reduced and profits are diminished especially in the worst states of the world. Ineffective corporate governance combined with corruption (dishonesty) thus increases firms' exposure to systematic risk. In a cross-country empirical test of the model, we find that corruption substantially increases firm betas, particularly in countries with weak shareholder rights. Moving from the level of corruption in Canada to that in South Korea raises industry-adjusted betas by 0.35....

    This paper argues that the problems posed by corruption in education have been neglected for too long.

It then describes the approach followed to tackle this sensitive issue within the framework of the project. Finally, it summarizes a few conclusions drawn from the research thus far in three areas: teacher behaviour, teacher management, and private tutoring. It then concludes by identifying key strategies for improving transparency and accountability in education....

  • Sustaining Growth in Developing Economies Through Improved Taxpayer Compliance: Challenges for Policy Makers and Revenue Authorities
    The existing body of literature on taxpayer compliance has developed over some 30 years or more and has predominantly emanated from developed economies including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Over the same period many developed economies have made considerable investment in legislative tax reforms, taxpayer education programs, tax enforcement strategies, and increasingly sophisticated systems of tax administration using new technologies. Undoubtedly there are lessons to be learnt from studying best practice in developed economies....

(c) Can evidence-based tax administration be built around a continuing program of experimentation that builds an increasingly rich tool-kit of cost-effective strategies (represented in the middle column of the model) for improving compliance? This volume presents findings from the first phase of our research....
