Abstract: The incidence of corruption appears to vary strongly across societies even for comparable activities. The model highlights how the profitability of bureaucratic corruption may be related to its frequency and points toward a few mechanisms that can be used in explaining the stylized facts of varying incidence of corruption. There might be multiple self-fulfilling equilibria levels of corruption even when both supply and demand of corrupt acts are considered.
