| description |
Policy makers use several international indices that characterize countries according to the quality of their institutions. However, no effort has been made to study how the honesty of citizens varies across countries. This paper explores the honesty among citizens across sixteen countries with 1440 participants. We employ a very simple task where participants face a trade-off between the joy of eating a fine chocolate and the disutility of having a threatened self-concept because of lying. Despite the incentives to cheat, we find that individuals are mostly honest. Further, international indices that are indicative of institutional honesty are completely uncorrelated with citizens' honesty for our sample countries. |

Sin embargo, no se ha hecho ningún esfuerzo para estudiar la forma en que la honestidad de los ciudadanos varía según los países. Este trabajo explora la honestidad de los ciudadanos en dieciséis países con 1.440 participantes. Usamos una tarea muy sencilla, donde los participantes se enfrentan a una disyuntiva entre la alegría de comer un chocolate fino y la desutilidad de tener un concepto negativo de sí mismo, por mentir . A pesar de los incentivos para engañar, nos encontramos con que las personas son en su mayoría honestas. Además encontramos que los índices internacionales que son indicativos de la honestidad institucional no presentan correlación alguna con la honestidad de los ciudadanos de nuestros países de la muestra.22 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 12 Marzo de 2015https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/012611.htmlContext-dependent cheating: experimental evidence from 16 countriesDeshonestidad dependiente del contexto: evidencia experimental en 16 paísesDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPHonestyCorruptionCultural differencesCorrupción políticaCorrupción administrativaPobreza - Política gubernamentalCiudadanía - Aspectos morales y éticosD73, C93, D01Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2015-12.pdf.jpgdcede2015-12.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg14934https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e277d716-32ea-451f-8e9d-72cc5bfa6a35/download974d260e1a52aaa34ca968cc7a7bedd6MD55ORIGINALdcede2015-12.pdfdcede2015-12.pdfapplication/pdf609759https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/a6e8a653-53f7-473a-a6ed-6859b35abc39/downloada44dd04462afab414bb29747b185014fMD51TEXTdcede2015-12.pdf.txtdcede2015-12.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain69114https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/0ae6dfe5-407d-4ac0-b5ee-d134f57c0a73/downloada36da908bbcb0c031c5c2dcf063a052aMD541992/8557oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/85572024-06-04 15:44:12.65http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
