Corruption and supervision costs in hierarchies

Article Abstract:

The effects of hierarchical monitoring on corruption are analyzed using a model that considers a principal and three agents. The model, which considers an incentive system to reduce implementation costs, indicates that monitoring systems could minimize corruption. However, they increase the risk of collusion wherein the agents coordinate to commit corruption. The possibility of external corruption depends on the wage incentive and the size of the bribe.
