A theory of political corruption must give a plausible descriptive account what counts as politically corrupt conduct, and normative the reasons why (if any) such conduct is wrongful, distinctively so. On Ceva Ferretti's sophisticated if only act carried out by public official acting in her capacity officeholder, she knowingly acts to ends which are not congruent with terms mandate.

As a consequence, the relationship between fiscal decentralization and corruption is conditional on political c...
