    Corrupción: un análisis experimental aplicado en la ciudad de Cuenca
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-11) Argudo Chamba, Kevin Alexis; Sarmiento Jara, Juan Pablo
    This research evaluated the impact of risk aversion and uncertainty on the propensity to engage in corrupt behavior through the decisions made by 96 participants in an intervention at the Experimental Economics Laboratory of the University of Cuenca. The illicit act was delimited through the decisions made by the subjects to violate an established rule in order to obtain an additional individual economic benefit. In addition, the participants were labeled according to a corruption predisposition index to analyze its impact on the propensity to engage in corrupt behavior, together with the aforementioned factors. The results were that a greater risk aversion and a greater degree of uncertainty can decrease the probability of engaging in this illicit act, while a higher corruption predisposition index increases the propensity to engage in this fraudulent activity.
