Zachowania korupcyjne osadzonych (wstępne wyniki badań)

Emil W. Pływaczewski, Grażyna B. Szczygieł

Archiwum Kryminologii > 2006 > XXVIII > 299-311

An analysis of the research questionnaires shows that most respondents (64%) think corruption is a significant problem of the Prison Service. Twenty-eight respondents (14%) quoted having received a corruption offer from a convict. If we consider the fact that one out of 7 respondents received a corruption offer and every second respondent thinks corruption is a significant issue, such an assessment...

Corruption and private participation infrastructure projects: The influence of vicarious experience and national animosity

Alfredo Jiménez, Secil Bayraktar, Julio César Puche‐Regaliza, Alvaro Herrero

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences... > 37 > 4 > 513 - 527

This paper investigates the influence of vicarious experience and national animosity on the relationship between corruption and the performance of private participation infrastructure projects. Our analysis of 27,264 projects in 114 countries from 1997 to 2013 shows that higher levels of corruption are associated with higher risk of project failure. We also find that this effect is weakened by the...

‘Do you want us to feed you like a baby?’ Ascriptions of dependence in East New Britain

Keir Martin

Social Anthropology > 28 > 3 > 714 - 728

This paper explores some accusations of wrongdoing in Papua New Guinea in the early 2000s. These accusations illustrate an ambiguous encouragement and discouragement of different kinds of perceived dependence as Papua New Guineans struggled with a growing disenchantment with their nation‐state and the withdrawal rather than expansion of state services and assistance. The paper explores the dynamics...

Zjawisko korupcji w kontekście zmian ustrojowych w Polsce po 1989 roku

Mateusz Menzel

Opolskie Studia Administracyjno-Prawne > 2019 > 17 > 3 > 89-102

The article aims to provide an insight into the issue of corruption in Poland at the turn of the 1980s and the 1990s. An important aspect which has influenced the understanding the corruption and its scale was a political change – the transition from communism to a democratic state based on the rule of law. Additionally, an equally important factor which was the simultaneous economic change of the...

The Impact of Corruption on Economic Growth and Innovation in an Economy in Developed European Countries

Anna Pluskota

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Skłodowska, sectio H – Oeconomia > 2020 > 54 > 2

Theoretical background: The article explores the relationship between corruption and innovation in an economy and between corruption and economic growth. The multi-faceted and complex nature of corruption means that the impact of corruption on innovation and economic growth is unidirectional. There are arguments in the literature for both positive and negative effects of corruption on macroeconomic...

Pierwsze informacje o przestępstwie korupcyjnym a budowa fabuły zdarzenia

Rafał Wielki

Opolskie Studia Administracyjno-Prawne > 2017 > 15 > 3 > 39-49

The aim of this article is to point out the possibilities of using the first information about the crime of corruption to build a crime story, although the concept of the story is not much common ground for the practice of inquiry. Corruption crimes are characterized by significant problems of the nature of detection and legal evidential value, which makes it complicated for the authorities conducting...

Verbal Operants of Corruption: A Study of Avoidance in Corruption Behavior

Tete Kobla Agbota, Ingunn Sandaker, Gunnar Ree

Behavior and Social Issues > 2015 > 24 > 1 > 141-163

Corruption is illegal and universally shameful. Persons who engage in corrupt practices tend to be discreet. This study offers an analysis of metaphors in corruption language based on positive and avoidance contingencies of reinforcement. Our data show that parties to corrupt practices use expressions that accentuate this discreet behavior, whether demanding or offering bribes. Our findings indicate...

“What about the box?” Some thoughts on the possibility of ‘corruption prevention’, and of ‘the disciplined and ethical subject’

Keith Hoskin

Critical Perspectives on Accounting > 2015 > 28 > Complete > 71-81

Accepting the call to treat the ‘toolbox’ and not the ‘tools’ as central to doing Foucauldian analysis (Paltrinieri, 2012), this paper draws on Foucault's characterisation of his project as ‘a critical history of thought’ (Florence, 1994) where ‘thought is understood as the very form of action’ (Foucault, 1987a). Therewith the paper seeks to develop an analysis of corruption and corruption prevention...

Making transparency real? Accounting and popular participation in corruption control

Michael Johnston

Critical Perspectives on Accounting > 2015 > 28 > Complete > 97-101

Accounting, broadly defined, has been the focus of high hopes and expectations for centuries. Classic works of art from The Netherlands, for example, depict the settling of accounts as not only a personal but a civic virtue—as a critical factor in the nation's development and prosperity. In that light it is not surprising that today's anti-corruption groups often see accounting and accountants as...

article

The ‘subject’ of corruption

John Roberts

Critical Perspectives on Accounting > 2015 > 28 > Complete > 82-88

This paper develops an analysis of corruption as the complement to processes of subjection. In this way the paper offers a way to make sense of how processes of inscription and audit which are designed to prevent corruption, nevertheless also continue to make corruption possible. The paper draws on both Foucault and Lacan's account of the formation of the subject to explore the ‘mad’ attractions of...

Corruption, investments and contributions to public goods: Experimental evidence from rural Liberia

Gonne Beekman, Erwin Bulte, Eleonora Nillesen, G. Beekman, more

Journal of Public Economics > 2014 > 115 > Complete > 37-47

We analyze how corruption affects incentives to invest or contribute to public goods. We obtain a proxy for corruption among Liberian community leaders by keeping track of a flow of inputs associated with a development intervention, measuring these inputs before and after giving them in custody to the chief. We then use the ''gap'' between these measurements (''missing inputs'') to explain variation...

On corruption, bribes and the exchange of favors

José A. Rodrigues-Neto, J.A. Rodrigues-Neto

Economic Modelling > 2014 > 38 > Complete > 152-162

This paper investigates how the availability of alternative forms of bribe payments, on top of money, may facilitate corruption. There are two bribe payment technologies and a Corruptor and a Receiver must agree on the value and on the technology of the bribe. The paper infers which form of payment can be used by analyzing probabilities of punishment, bargaining powers of agents, and relative efficiency...

Experience-based corporate corruption and stock market volatility: Evidence from emerging markets

Chi Keung Marco Lau, Ender Demir, Mehmet Huseyin Bilgin, C.K.M. Lau, more

Emerging Markets Review > 2013 > 17 > Complete > 1-13

This paper reassesses how ''experience-based'' corporate corruption affects stock market volatility in 14 emerging markets. We match the World Bank enterprise-level data on bribes with a unique cross-country macroeconomics dataset obtained from the World Bank development indicators. It is found that wider coverage of ''realized'' corporate corruption in the emerging markets investigated reduces the...

Birds of a feather: Evidence on commonality of corruption and democracy in the origin and location of foreign investment in Russian regions

Svetlana Ledyaeva, Päivi Karhunen, Riitta Kosonen, S. Ledyaeva, more

European Journal of Political Economy > 2013 > 32 > Complete > 1-25

We examine the effects of subnational variations in corruption and democratization on the location decisions of foreign investors in Russian regions using firm-level panel data for the period 1996–2007. We link these effects to the level of corruption and type of political regime in the country of origin of a foreign investor. We find a relationship between attributes of foreign investors' home countries...

Engaging in corruption: The influence of cultural values and contagion effects at the microlevel

Wang-Sheng Lee, Cahit Guven, W.S. Lee, C. Guven

Journal of Economic Psychology > 2013 > 39 > Complete > 287-300

Previous empirical work on corruption has generally been cross-country in nature and focused on utilizing country-level corruption ratings. By using micro-level data for over 20 European countries that directly measure individual characteristics, corruption experiences, gender roles, trust and values to examine the determinants of corruption, this paper goes beyond the search for associations between...

Decentralization, political competition and corruption

Facundo Albornoz, Antonio Cabrales, F. Albornoz, A. Cabrales

Journal of Development Economics > 2013 > 105 > Complete > 103-111

We study the effect of decentralization on corruption in a political agency model from the perspective of a region. In a model where corruption opportunities are lower under centralization at each period of time, decentralization makes it easier for citizens to detect corrupt incumbents. As a consequence, the relationship between fiscal decentralization and corruption is conditional on political competition:...

Profiting from destruction: The Iraq reconstruction, auditing and the management of fraud

Michele Chwastiak

Critical Perspectives on Accounting > 2013 > 24 > 1 > 32-43

While several US corporations have benefited tremendously from the Iraq reconstruction, the Iraqis and US taxpayers have not done as well. This paper argues that the Bush Administration's neoliberal agenda in Iraq created a corrupt, lawless environment in which corporations could reap huge profits through what would normally be called malfeasance. It further demonstrates how the audit reports produced...

Retour sur le «secteur informel». L'économie du Katanga (Congo-Zaïre) face à la falsification de la loi

Benjamin Rubbers

Sociologie du travail > 2007 > 49 > 3 > 316-329

Cet article part du constat que la critique du concept de «secteur informel» en sciences sociales a davantage porté sur la possibilité de réunir les activités économiques dans deux secteurs que sur celle de les étiqueter comme formelles ou informelles. Or, l'attribution de ces qualificatifs présente un caractère totalement équivoque au Congo. L'article suggère alors de comprendre la labellisation...

Leaving the Barracks: Military Coups in Developing Democracies

Lance Y. Hunter, Josh Rutland, Zachary King

Politics & Policy > 48 > 6 > 1062 - 1103

A large body of research has examined the factors that influence military coups in authoritarian and democratic states. While this research is informative, we contend that three factors are central in assessing the likelihood of military coups in developing democracies: the perception of corruption within regimes, levels of popular support, and the incentives segments of the military have to initiate coups. In utilizing a historical case‐study analysis with six states in Africa, Asia, and Latin America (from 1970‐2010) we find that successful military coups are more likely to occur when the ruling administration is increasingly viewed by the public as being corrupt, is unpopular with large portions of society and key factions within the state, and when segments of the military perceive their position within the state as being threatened by the current regime. These findings have important implications for democratic governance in developing democracies....
