Is inflation a catalyst to rise in corruption??.!!..

Mathews, Thanks for the link, the correct link is:-

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/corruption/

This is primarily a philosophical discussion not based on any concrete quantitative study, though i duly agree with the most of the generic hypothetical inferences, viewpoints and views, a well.  This is like  a moral story or saying like "Pride hath a fall", most will agree.

The discussion no where touches what factors cause "increase in level of corruption"...which is the moot point of debate here...respecting and accepting your view on existence as well as cause of corruption, i wish you to analytically draw your inferences based on the data analysis of the reports that i have presented through number of links...

So many data analytical reports done by reputed (recognized) market research institutions independently can not go wrong.!!!..

Mathew, agreed to your perception, that reasons for augmenting corruption and inflation could be same, ie. lack of (quality of) economic planning. The query of debate is different from your viewpoint.

Either your views should be based on researched data or you must justify emotions or your perception with logic. Though perceptible, it is not a rule that developed countries are less prone to corruption, please refer to some other studies:-

Thanks Mathew, for highlighting my point of View with the example of US, Inflation in USA has never been as high (in comparison to) as other parts of the world, therefore comparatively less instances of relative increase in corruption,  please check the data:-

Also, check time to time, within any region (or compare it between regions), you would surely find a direct correlation with this, whenever there is increase in prices people are more inclined to corrupt practices, also conversely, when you find lot of instances of corruption in society, you can see inflation mounting at brisk rate. Why, so??

Irrational individual choice that you mention, i agree, however, query is different.

Akshaya I ditto your views on the subject.

Perhaps, the query and data analysis reports are not being properly understood.. All inferences 1 to 4 indicated direct correlation between the two..What precedes which, was not the query, so irrelevant... It is observed globally when the price are rising so are the incidences of corruptions, and also the vice a versa...(based on numerous studies based and statistical data analysis and comparison regional basis, as performed by globally recognized data research centers...)...

Direct correlation between the two has been established based on inferences drawn from detailed data analysis and the actual scenario globally:-

Key inferences scientifically it draws out provide the rationality as follows:-

This piece examines the linkages between corruption and inflation and accordingly posits the following hypothesis:-

1. Higher level of corruption may lead to higher inflation;

2. Decrease in the level of corruption may lead to a decrease in inflation;

3. Higher Inflation may lead to higher level of corruption;

4. Decrease in inflation may not necessarily bring down corruption.
