“…Cuando esto sucede, puede que la percepción de corrupción ya no haga diferencia. Como mencionan Navia et al (2020), estudiando el caso de Guatemala, cuando la gente percibe que todos los funcionarios son corruptos, aún los grandes escándalos de corrupción contribuyen poco a aumentar esa creencia. En consecuencia, las variables comúnmente identificadas como determinantes de la percepción de corrupción pierden poder explicativo.…”

Un mecanismo que refuerza la corrupción en las democracias actuales es la tolerancia de los ciudadanos a la corrupción. En este estudio analizamos la tolerancia a pagar sobornos usando datos de opinión pública en América Latina. El análisis muestra que la gente normaliza el pago de sobornos cuando desconfía de la integridad del régimen político, ya sea porque ha sido víctima de corrupción, percibe que la corrupción política está generalizada o siente desapego hacia el sistema político.

“…People’s political beliefs about how the state should be run and what government should and should not do influence their perception of corruption. By studying the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), Navia et al (2020) found that, in Guatemala, political ideology influence the perception of corruption, as people who were right-wing tended to perceive the country as more corrupt. Similarly, people’s political preferences could influence their perception of corruption – they may tend to believe that the opposite party is more corrupt or the government they like is less corrupt (Canache et al , 2019; de Lancer Julnes and Villoria, 2014; Navia et al , 2020; Tverdova, 2011).…”

“…For this reason, investigating factors associated with Canadian’s perception of corruption can enrich the literature. Additionally, while some previous studies (Navia et al , 2020; Weng et al , 2015; Wroe et al , 2013) have examined the perception of corruption in some countries, none has focused on the Canadian context. For example, Navia et al (2020) focused on Guatemala; they found that age, education and right-wing ideology and retrospective economic outlook are vital factors associated with corruption perception.…”

Purpose Corruption perception is essential to study because it can shape people’s attitudes toward the government. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to address this key question: what factors are associated with a non-expert’s judgment of whether Canada is corrupt? Design/methodology/approach This study uses the World Value Survey conducted in Canada in October 2020. This survey is based on a nationally representative sample of a cross-section of adult Canadian residents, including Canadian citizens and permanent residents and those who are neither Canadian citizens nor permanent residents. Findings Based on this study, some conclusions can be made. First, people accessing corruption news from the traditional news media are less likely than those receiving information from the new media to perceive the state (in this case, Canada) as corrupt. Second, people who have less confidence in public institutions are more likely to perceive a country as corrupt. Third, people who participate in electoral and non-electoral forms of political participation are more likely to perceive the state and its public officials as corrupt. Fourth, regardless of which political party is in power, individuals who lean right politically are more likely than those on the left to perceive the state as corrupt. Finally, immigrants are less likely than those born in Canada to perceive the state as corrupt. This work enriches the literature on the substantive understanding of the factors associated with corruption perception. Originality/value Studies investigating factors associated with public perception of corruption tend to focus on developing countries. The current study contributes to filling this gap in knowledge by examining correlates of corruption perception in Canada. As a result, this study contributes to the literature on factors associated with corruption perception, especially in the developed country context.

This study explores the micro-determinants of corruption tolerance among 1414 university students in Guatemala, a country grappling with significant corruption issues. By examining the attitudes of economics majors compared to students in other disciplines through ordered logistic regression analysis, we offer new insights into factors influencing corruption tolerance in a developing country setting. This approach, by focusing on a developing country, fills a research gap in the literature on the differences between economics students and their peers from other programs. We find that economics students exhibit a greater tolerance for corruption. This result aligns with theories and research that suggest that economists show a profit-maximizing mindset, and distinctive values and fairness perceptions. Furthermore, our analysis reveals significant effects of gender and age on corruption tolerance, with women and older students reporting lower tolerance to corrupt practices. The study also uncovers the higher tolerance towards private versus public corruption. These findings provide valuable guidance for developing policies and educational initiatives to reduce corruption tolerance among future professionals in similar socio-economic environments.
