Green Grease: Environmental Crime, Corruption and Money Laundering
从理论和实证角度分析腐败如何像“绿色润滑剂”一样促进环境犯罪和洗钱，并利用意大利1995-2020年区域数据估算环境犯罪总收入。
ABSTRACT We offer a theoretical and empirical analysis that shows how corruption can be a ‘green grease’ that facilitates both environmental crimes and money laundering. Corruption can be an accelerator that amplifies the multiplier effect on illegal revenues. We model these relationships using a logistic function, which we calibrate to estimate overall environmental crime revenues using Italian regional data from 1995 to 2020.
