This paper demonstrates that capital markets take surrounding environments in the states into consideration when determining prices on local debt, above and beyond the underlying features of municipal bonds. We empirically show that corruption premium exists in the US municipal bond market. Local governments in more corrupt states pay higher costs for long-term borrowing in the market. Moreover, fiscal institutions that are traditionally thought to bring fiscal discipline to local governments become ineffective in the states with relatively higher levels of public sector corruption.
Abstract
This paper demonstrates that capital markets take surrounding environments in the states into consideration when determining prices on local debt, above and beyond the underlying features of municipal bonds. We empirically show that corruption premium exists in the US municipal bond market. Local governments in more corrupt states pay higher costs for long-term borrowing in the market. Moreover, fiscal institutions that are traditionally thought to bring fiscal discipline to local governments become ineffective in the states with relatively higher levels of public sector corruption.
