Abstract
This chapter analyses the decision of foreign investors to finance firms in developing countries that are run by unreliable managers. These may divert a fraction of the firm’s turnover without risking legal sanctions, but, in this case, they would lose their “good” reputation. The two-period model has a rational expectation equilibrium, in which the risk of theft is endogeneous. In a macroeconomic context, economy-wide corruption appears to depend on the duration of the relationship between investors and managers.
