According to our model, inequality can nurture corruption by empowering organized crime because collusion between local police forces and criminal organizations is more likely in societies characterized by high inequality or weak security forces. Law enforcement and organized crime have a strong incentive to collude due to efficiency gains from specialization. However, their agreement breaks down when the mobsters can no longer credibly commit to joint rent maximization and thus start to compete with law enforcement for citizens’ wealth. 2023-04-12T03:08:56Z 2023-04-12T03:08:56Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10657-023-09764-x https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/7806 en application/pdf Springer
