Cover Story: We live in a period where the term 'inflation' has re-entered our homes and affected our lives. There are several causes for this inflationary moment, but our work goes further; it points to a very important consequence of inflationary moments—the growing risk of corruption. From a set of observations using panel data, we found that increases in structural price indices, namely in 19 agricultural product prices in 90 economies, precede increases in corrupt practices. Thus, our article is a serious warning to all those interested in fighting corruption because, after these inflationary episodes, we can expect a greater risk of corruption around us. View this paper
