Abstract

A pesar del solicitado beneficio discutido por el establecimiento de reformas institucionales en diversas economias, tal beneficio no es claro cuando hay algunas ineficiencias institucionales que lo dificultan. Desarrollamos un modelo de politica economica en el cual un gobierno en un pais trata de fijar el nivel institucional optimo tomando en cuenta el costo de esta politica en la inversion y en el bienestar del consumidor. Analizamos la misma decision de politica tomando en cuenta una contribucion politica hecha por un grupo de presion corrupto para beneficiarse a si mismos de un nivel institucional mas bajo. Nuestros resultados sugieren que el nivel institucional optimo dependera del grado de eficiencia de las estructuras legales contra las ilegales, del nivel de corrupcion y del tamano del mercado del bien producido.
