Research On Cooperation Mechanism Of Trade-Based Anti-Money Laundering

With the development of economic globalization and informationization, countries in the world are related together closely. Transnational money laundering is one of the main money laundering crime. Trade is the most effective vehicle of transnational money laundering. The report of trade-based money laundering published by FATF in 2006 described all kinds of money laundering in detail. Then, international organizations of anti-money laundering started to pay attention on the trade-based money laundering. However, the effect of supervision on trade-based money laundering is poor. The report of China anti-money laundering in 2008 showed little cases of trade-based money laundering. Because of the transnational, complicate and implicit characteristics, it is necessary to establish the effective long-term mechanism of cooperation among different countries in the world so as to fight against the money laundering. At the same time, the related national departments such as bank, customer, and so on, must cooperate to prevent the money laundering.It is very important to set up effective and long-term mechanism of cooperation to fight against the trade-based money laundering. However, the effect of cooperation can be affected by the differences among countries about laws, policies, and economies and so on. So the cooperation may face some difficulties in future. Based on the context above, the paper analyzed the cooperation among native related departments such as custom and bank and made a thorough research on the long-term and effective cooperation among different countries to fight against money laundering.The paper mainly did some contributions, as follows:(1) Through analyzing and assorting the crime cases of FATF typologies report, the paper classified the organization of trade-based money laundering into three types:the contemporary organization, long-term organization and compound organization. The related departments can take effective measures to fight against the money laundering according the different characteristics of the organizations.(2)The paper used the evolutionary game to analyze the behaviors of supervising and money laundering. The paper supposed that two parties are all limit rational economic men. And they can't get equilibrium by once action. What's more, the paper studied the interactive process when those players choose actions and the ability of anti-interference when they get the equilibrium.(3) The paper took advantage of the evolutionary game theory to analyze the global cooperation and tried to find the basis of cooperation. Meanwhile, the paper analyzed the probability of long-term and stable cooperation and provided strategies to sustain the long-term and effective cooperation according to the results of analysis.The main contribution of the paper is that the paper applied the evolutionary game theory to analysis of mechanism of global cooperation of anti-money laundering. Meanwhile, the paper provided some effective suggestions for maintain the long-term cooperation.
