Money Laundering in Light of The Panama Papers Leak
(2018) NEKN01 20181Department of Economics
- Abstract
- In this paper we investigate whether a modern approach to identifying the desirable locations to launder money, the Walker Attractiveness Index, is suitable, and compare its projected results with those revealed by the Panama Papers leak. We find that the model does a poor job at predicting the real-world results, and propose that it be revised. To this we provide some policy recommendations that may aid in future efforts to detect money laundering.
