Item type:Publication, They do not represent us! Comparative analysis of the relationship between democracy and corruption in Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Ecuador (2015-2018)(Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2022-10-07)The article compares correlations between democracy and corruption in four Latin American countries: Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, between 2015 and 2018. The studied cases show a series of social manifestations between 2018 and 2020 that express a crisis of representation, in addition to various corruption cases. However, the four countries have differences in their democratic construction and consolidation processes, as well as the assessment of political corruption as a relevant problem. Through a quantitative methodology and comparative politics, the study concludes that despite the cases’ similarities and differences in terms of legitimacy and trust, they all have a tendency towards de-democratization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, How the perception of corruption shapes the willingness to bribe: Evidence from an online experiment(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-01)Does the perception of corruption shape the willingness to bribe? This study evaluates the socio-psychological determinants of corruption by measuring how different types of messages influence the probability of engaging in corruption for access to public health, social programs, and official documents. This research uses the social norms approach to explore the link among messaging, perception, and behavior. An online experiment was conducted in Peru for two weeks between October and November 2021, using social media (Facebook) to recruit participants (n = 2584). The participants were divided into two treatment groups and one control group. Those in the treatment groups received informational displays on (i) the perception of corruption as widespread in the public sector (descriptive norm) or (ii) corruption as morally wrong (injunctive norm). The control group did not receive a message. Exposure to messages on corruption increased the overall probability of engaging in corruption. Unexpectedly, those in the injunctive norm group increased their willingness to bribe. Furthermore, this study also found significant differences in bribing behavior based on the different types of public service, gender, and age.
