    In the last decades, a growing awareness emerged in the relevance of corruption as a hidden factor that may negatively affect political and economic decision-making processes. In spite of a lively scientific debate, there is no general consensus on a commonly accepted definition of what corruption is. This paper distinguishes three main paradigms, focusing on different (though not irreconcilable) variables. The first is the economic paradigm, which usually takes the principal-agent model of corruption as its founding pillar. In this paradigm, corruption is considered the outcome of rational individual choices, and its spread within a certain organization is influenced by the factors defining the structure of expected costs and rewards. A second approach – the cultural paradigm – looks at the differences in cultural traditions, social norms and interiorized values that shape individuals’ moral preferences and consideration of his social and institutional role. These are leading forces that can push a corrupt public or private agent (not) to violate legal norms. A third neo-institutional approach considers also mechanisms that allow the internal regulation of social interactions within corrupt networks, and their effects on individuals’ beliefs and preferences. Though the corrupt agreements cannot be enforced with legal sanctions, several informal, non-written rules, contractual provisos, and conventions may regulate the corrupt exchange between agent and corruptor.

    The coronavirus has become a global pandemic with many economic consequences and has affected all countries of the world, and it is expected that the global economy will face a significant recession in 2020. Meanwhile, Iran, like many countries involved, suffers from the economic consequences. The spread of coronavirus in Iran will also have a great impact on the domestic economy; According to economic experts in Iran, the story is a bit more complicated; on the supply side, the economy is facing downward pressure. However, without the corona, the Iranian economy was projected to record positive non-oil growth in 2019. The outbreak of the new coronavirus since the end of 2018 and its continuation in 2019, has put the Iranian economy in a state of recession with uncertainty (uncertainty). The decline in demand for Iranian exports (and the decline in global trade in general) affects aggregate demand from foreign trade. In the domestic sector, aggregate demand is affected both by the decline in household income and by the decline in some goods and services that lead to the spread of the virus (such as transportation, restaurants and hotels, clothing, etc.). On the other hand, the supply of the whole economy has been faced with a supply shock due to the disruption in the raw material supply network and the limited activity of some trade unions. Assessing the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak on household livelihoods shows that although all income groups will be affected by the new situation, the lower deciles will be more vulnerable.
