    Behavioral economics and monetary wisdom: A cross-level analysis of monetary aspiration, pay (dis)satisfaction, risk perception, and corruption in 32 nations

    Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Li, Zhen; Özbek, Mehmet Ferhat; Lim, Vivien Kim Geok; Teo, Thompson Sian Hin; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Sutarso, Toto; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte

    Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains–losses domain and high–low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses) excites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high–low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize: Decision-makers adopt avaricious love of money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains–losses domain (pay satisfaction–dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high–low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction curbs dishonesty across nations consistently. Cross-level three-dimensional visualization demonstrates (6500 managers in 32 countries across six continents): With high aspiration, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest- (third-highest) avaricious justice-seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations; pay satisfaction provokes the second-highest avaricious opportunity-seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities—maximizing expected utility. Low aspiration and high pay satisfaction consistently create low dishonesty—achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual-level theory to a cross-level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations, providing novel insights to business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

    The Relation between Corruption and Tax Revenues: An Assessment of Transitional economies

    Setürk, Nazli Keyifli; Bayraktar, Yuksel; Özyilmaz, Ayfer

    Corruption affects many economic, political, and social indicators directly and indirectly. One of the economic costs of corruption is a decrease in tax revenues. In societies where corruption is high, administrators taking bribes for excess revenue may reduce tax administration performance. Therefore, corruption and taxes are closely related to each other. This study analyzes the impact of corruption on different tax types in 6 selected transition economies (Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Latvia and Slovak Republic) in the 1998-2021 and Bootstrap Panel Granger causality method. According to this study, there is unidirectional causality from personal income tax to corruption in Slovakia, from corporate tax and VAT to corruption in Poland, from VAT and SCT to corruption in Hungary, and from VAT to corruption in Latvia. Additionally, there is a bidirectional causal relationship from corruption to personal income tax in Poland and from corruption to corporate tax in the Czech Republic and Hungary, but there is no causal relationship between corruption and VAT and SCT. Personal income and corporate taxes, which require a strong relationship between tax administration and taxpayers, are more affected by corruption than taxes such as VAT and SCT.

    Behavioral economics and Monetary Wisdom: The Enron Effect—Love of money, Corporate Ethical Values, Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), and dishonesty across 31 geopolitical entities

    Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Sutarso, Toto; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Lim, Vivien Kim Geok; Teo, Thompson Sian Hin; Arias-Galicia, Fernando; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte; Luna-Arocas, Roberto

    Monetary Wisdom asserts that individuals apply their deep-rooted values (the love of money attitudes, avaricious monetary aspirations) to frame critical concerns in the immediate-proximal and omnibus-distal contexts and strategically select certain options to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity across context, people, and time at the individual, organizational, and national-global levels. This study explores the dark side of decision-making, e.g., avaricious monetary aspirations and corruption (dishonesty). Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. It is a risky prospect, involving a cost-benefit analysis of self-interest. We frame good or bad barrels in the environmental context as a proxy of high or low probability of getting caught for dishonesty, respectively. We theorize: Two levels of the subjective norm—perceived Corporate Ethical Values at the micro level (CEV, Level 1) and Corruption Perceptions Index at the macro level (CPI, Level 2), collected from multiple sources, jointly impact the magnitude and intensity of the relationships between love of money and dishonesty. Based on 6382 managers in 31 geopolitical entities across 6 continents, our cross-level three-way interaction effect illustrates the following discoveries: As expected, managers in good barrels (high CEV/high CPI), mixed barrels (low CEV/high CPI or high CEV/low CPI), and bad barrels (low CEV/low CPI) display a low, medium, and high magnitude of dishonesty, respectively. Context matters. With high CEV, the intensity is the same across cultures. With low CEV, the intensity of dishonesty is the highest in high CPI entities (risk seeking in the high probability context)—the Enron Effect, but the lowest in low CPI entities (risk aversion in the low probability context). Interestingly, CPI has a strong impact on the magnitude of dishonesty, whereas CEV has a strong impact on the intensity of dishonesty. We demonstrate dishonesty in light of monetary values and two frames of social norms, revealing critical implications to the field of business ethics. This chapter makes robust theoretical and practical contributions to Monetary Wisdom and business ethics.

    Bütçe saydamlığı ve yolsuzluk ilişkisi: Ampirik bir değerlendirme

    Elif Harmaner

    Şeffaflık, kamu politikalarının esin kaynağı olması gereken bir değer olarak görülmektedir. Özellikle uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından yolsuzluğu engellemek amacıyla şeffaflık önemli bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Bu yüzden kamu bütçelerinde yolsuzluk özellikle önemlidir. Yolsuzluk, ekonomik gelişmeyi ve kalkınmayı olumsuz bir şekilde etkileyen ve genel kabul görmüş kesin tanımı olmayan önemli bir öğedir. Bu olumsuzluğu önleyebilmek için bütçe saydamlığının etkisinin olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu amaçla bütçe şeffaflığını ölçmek için yapılan açık bütçe anketi hedef odaklı bir anket çalışmasıdır. Bilgi vermek için yerel uzmanlar tarafından yürütülen algılardan ziyade değerlendirmeler Uluslararası Bütçe Ortaklığı (IBP) tarafından gerçekleştirilen açık bütçe anketi yardımıyla, bütçe ülkelerinin şeffaflık düzeyleri, bütçe katılım düzeyleri, hesap verilebilirlik ve bütçe gözetim düzeylerinin ölçüldüğü bir endekstir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı bütçe saydamlığı ve yolsuzluk ilişkisini araştırmaktır. IBP'nin 2006 yılından itibaren her iki yılda bir yayınlamış olduğu raporda 2012-2021 dönemi için verilerine eksiksiz ulaşılabilen 92 ülke seçilmiştir. Bu amaca uygun olarak önce bütçe saydamlığı ve yolsuzluk modellemesine uygun olarak teorik çerçeve oluşturulmuş ve literatür taramasının ardından araştırmaya konu olan ülkeler için bütçe saydamlığı ve yolsuzluğu test etmek üzere ekonometrik bir analiz yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, bütçe saydamlığının ele alınan ülke örneklemi için yolsuzluğu iyileştirmede önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Öte yandan, demokratik kurumların varlığı ve hukukun üstünlüğü hesap verilebilirlik açısından önemli unsurlar olduğundan bütçe saydamlığının bu unsurlarla desteklenerek yolsuzlukla mücadele de önemli bir araç olarak kullanılabileceği görülmektedir.

    Relationship between Institutional Quality and Corruption: The Case of Turkey

    Çiçen, Yildirim Beyazit

    The relationship between the level of corruption and the quality of Turkey's institutional structure was investigated in this study. Using quarterly data between 1984-2015, RALS-ADF unit root and RALS-EG cointegration tests were used to determine if there is a relationship between these variables in Turkey. Corruption level is the dependent variable, institutional quality is the independent variable, and the total production index is the control variable. The first analysis included both the coalition and single-party periods. Also, a separate analysis was carried out for the coalition period 1984-2002. There was no correlation between corruption and institutional quality in either analysis.

    Intentionally Changing Everything: Deliberate Constructing in Corruption Case

    Kamsi, Kamsi; Julianto, Very; Billah, Mu'tashim; Karimullah, Suud Sarim

    The handling of corruption cases lacks consistency in the emphasis on the element of intention or deliberation. While some experts propose the concept of deliberation theoretically, its practical application in the field contradicts these theoretical studies due to the absence of clear indicators of intent. Deliberation, as explored in this research, is analyzed through the lenses of criminal law and psychology. The research employs the Forum Group Discussion (FGD) method, coupled with professional judgment from legal practitioners and academics. The findings reveal a shared perception among law enforcers regarding the deliberate nature of corruption cases. These law enforcers interpret relevant articles using a combination of scientific theory and the theory of Possibility in Certainty. From a psychological perspective, deliberate behavior is conceptualized as a construct that can be measured through the lens of scientific theory. The convergence of these perspectives highlights a unified approach among law enforcers in assessing intentionality in corruption cases.

    Economic and Institutional Determinants of Corruption: The Case of Developed and Developing Countries

    Acaravci, Ali; Artan, Seyfettin; Hayaloglu, Pinar; Erdogan, Sinan

    Since ancient times, corruption has been one of the essential topics for economists and politicians. Moreover, it is a concern for both developed and developing countries and a significant obstacle to economic development. The primary objective of this paper is to examine the relationships between corruption, economic growth, internet use, and quality of governance alongside other institutional and economic variables in 65 developed and developing countries for the period 1999–2016 by using dynamic panel data methods performing well under cross-sectional dependence. The empirical results can be summarized as follows. The augmented mean group (AMG) results indicate statistically significant relationships between corruption, economic growth, internet use, quality of government, and democracy. Also, we find that an increase in economic growth and quality of governance contribute to reducing corruption in these 65 developed and developing countries. In contrast, an increase in internet use and democracy level raises corruption. The policy implications of the empirical estimations are also discussed in the paper.

    Behavioral economics and monetary wisdom: A cross-level analysis of monetary aspiration, pay (dis)satisfaction, risk perception, and corruption in 32 nations

    Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains-losses domain and high-low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses domain) incites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. The Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high-low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize that decision-makers adopt avaricious love-of-money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains-losses domain (pay satisfaction-dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high-low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction mitigates dishonesty across nations consistently. Based on 6500 managers in 32 countries, our cross-level three-dimensional visualization offers the following discoveries. Under high aspiration conditions, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest- (third-highest) avaricious justice-seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations, supporting the certainty effect. However, pay satisfaction provokes the second-highest avaricious opportunity-seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities, sustaining the possibility effect-maximizing expected utility. Under low aspiration conditions, high pay satisfaction consistently leads to low dishonesty, demonstrating risk aversion-achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual-level theory to a cross-level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations. We enhance the S-shaped Curve to three 3-D corruption surfaces across three levels of the global economic pyramid, providing novel insights into behavioral economics, business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

    EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH UNDER MACROECONOMIC INSTABILITIES

    Batu Agirkaya, Melahat; Akyol, Hikmet

    This study examined impact of macroeconomic instability and corruption on economic performance in developing countries. For this purpose, longterm relationship between 1995-2019 was examined using Kao (1999) and Pedroni (1999, 2004) cointegration tests. Results, macroeconomic instability and corruption have affected economic performance in long run. Flexibility of long-term relationship between variables was analyzed using PDOLS, FMOLS and DOLSMG estimators. The results showed that macroeconomic instabilities negatively and significantly affect economic growth and FDI, which represent economic performance. As macroeconomic instability increases, economic revival will be negatively affected by this, while foreign capital investment in country will decrease. Consequently, implementation of policies that will reduce macroeconomic instability and uncertainties will increase economic recovery and encourage foreign capital investments in host countries. Impact of corruption on economic growth and FDI was found to be positive. Decreasing corruption in research countries favors economic growth and facilitates foreign investment increases.

    The Relationship between Corruption and Tax Burden: The Moderator Effect of Strength of Auditing and Reporting Standards

    Yesilcelebi, Gul; Keyifli, Nazli; Procházka, D.

    The aim of this study is to examine the moderator effect of strength of auditing and reporting standards on the relationship between corruption and tax burden in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The study was conducted on annual data during the period 2011–2015 about the corruption, tax burden and strength of auditing and reporting standards of OECD member countries. In this context, data of corruption (Corruption Perceptions Index – CPI) were collected from Transparency International – the Global Coalition against Corruption; data of tax burden were collected from International Monetary Fund (IMF) database, and data of strength of auditing and reporting standards were collected from The Global Competitiveness Reports. The study analysed the relationship between corruption and tax burden and the moderator effect of strength of auditing and reporting standards on the relationship between two variables by the panel data analysis. The results of this analysis showed that have significantly and a negative relationship between corruption and tax burden; strength of auditing and reporting standards have significantly and a positive strengthen relationship between corruption and tax burden.

    Monetary Intelligence and Behavioral Economics: The Enron Effect-Love of Money, Corporate Ethical Values, Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), and Dishonesty Across 31 Geopolitical Entities

    Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Sutarso, Toto; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Lim, Vivien K. G.; Teo, Thompson S. H.; Arias-Galicia, Fernando; Garber, Ilya E.; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte; Luna-Arocas, Roberto

    Monetary intelligence theory asserts that individuals apply their money attitude to frame critical concerns in the context and strategically select certain options to achieve financial goals and ultimate happiness. This study explores the dark side of monetary Intelligence and behavioral economics-dishonesty (corruption). Dishonesty, a risky prospect, involves cost-benefit analysis of self-interest. We frame good or bad barrels in the environmental context as a proxy of high or low probability of getting caught for dishonesty, respectively. We theorize: The magnitude and intensity of the relationship between love of money and dishonest prospect (dishonesty) may reveal how individuals frame dishonesty in the context of two levels of subjective norm-perceived corporate ethical values at the micro-level (CEV, Level 1) and Corruption Perceptions Index at the macro-level (CPI, Level 2), collected from multiple sources. Based on 6382 managers in 31 geopolitical entities across six continents, our cross-level three-way interaction effect illustrates: As expected, managers in good barrels (high CEV/high CPI), mixed barrels (low CEV/high CPI or high CEV/low CPI), and bad barrels (low CEV/low CPI) display low, medium, and high magnitude of dishonesty, respectively. With high CEV, the intensity is the same across cultures. With low CEV, the intensity of dishonesty is the highest in high CPI entities (risk seeking of high probability)-the Enron Effect, but the lowest in low CPI entities (risk aversion of low probability). CPI has a strong impact on the magnitude of dishonesty, whereas CEV has a strong impact on the intensity of dishonesty. We demonstrate dishonesty in light of monetary values and two frames of social norm, revealing critical implications to the field of behavioral economics and business ethics.
