摘要
We model separation of powers as an instrument against corruption, more specifically as a way to decrease the costs of collusion-proofness. Then, we show that the value of this institutional design is higher in developing countries. Unfortunately, the same reasons which are behind this higher value also increase the implementation cost of this "institution". (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
