“…As a result, many Indonesians feel disappointed with this regulation, which results in the KPK feeling that it no longer has independence in guarding corruption crimes. This is in accordance with the opinion of experts who reveal that the role of law in dealing with corruption greatly determines transparency in a government [21,22]. In addition, the role of the president is very helpful in the successful handling of corruption risks.…”

State problems have placed corruption as the enemy that most threatens the stability of the country. This can be seen from various countries experiencing the brink of destruction due to corruption by state officials. In fact, this official is expected to be a fortress capable of realizing the vision and mission of a country. Therefore, a strategy to deal with the risk of corruption is needed, especially in Indonesia, which is a developing country. The approach used is qualitative research in looking at the strategies carried out by government holders in the period 2004 to 2019. Data collection techniques use interview techniques and documentation. Data analysis uses interactive models developed by experts, namely: 1) Data Collection, 2) Data Display, 3) Data Condensation, 4) Conclusion: Drawing / Verifying (Miles, Huberman, Saldana, 2014). The results showed that the handling of the risk of corruption of the two government holders, namely the VI and VII Presidents, had increased. Moreover, the Government of the Seventh President experienced a significant increase. However, at the end of 2019 there was a decline in performance because the law underwent a very drastic change. The impact of these changes resulted in public distrust of the government, both legislative and executive, as an extension of the community's hands in the context of realizing a just and prosperous society as stated in the 1945 constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

“…Relatively speaking, however, obtaining insights into corruption experience or corruption incidence is more challenging than gathering information into corruption perceptions. This distinction can prove crucial in some cases (Belousova et al 2016;Gillanders and Parviainen 2018;Gutmann et al 2020;Olken 2009), and the present research adds some new insights in this regard.…”

“…Related measurement issues have been noted in numerous studies (Donchev and Ujhelyi 2014;Goel and Nelson 2011). It had also been observed that there might be a difference between corruption perceptions and actual corruption (Belousova et al 2016;Donchev and Ujhelyi 2014;Gillanders and Parviainen 2018;Gutmann et al 2020;Olken 2009). The present research can be seen as somewhat straddling both perceptions and actual corruption-the respondents to the survey that forms the basis of our dataset were managers/owners of firms who were asked questions about both their experiences with bribery/ corruption and the assessment regarding the degree to which such activity hinders their business operations.…”

Adding to the research on the corruption and gender nexus, this paper contributes by several dimensions, including: (a) measurement of corruption across corruption perceptions and corruption experiences; (b) focusing on entrepreneurship level by studying whether female managers and female owners of firms perceived/experienced corruption differently; (c) using survey information at the firm level; and (d) employing a large sample of mostly developing nations covering more than 100 countries. Results show that female owners had greater corruption experience, ceteris paribus, while female managers perceived corruption to be lower. The perceptions of female managers, however, were sensitive when dimensions of gender equality were considered. With regard to firms' characteristics, including firm's age, size, and ownership, there was relatively greater support for these factors impacting corruption perceptions than corruption experience. All this underscores the need for effective corruption-control polices to pay attention to how corruption is measured, as well as the identity (gender) and position (owners or managers) of those underlying the relevant data.

“…In quantitative terms, corruption studies are scarce, because there are no unique measures of corruption, and they are usually based on perception surveys. However, the correlation between different corruption indices is high, so there is a consensus in terms of the definition of corruption, Mauro (1995), Gutmann et al (2020) and Ojeka et al (2019). The aggregate effect of corruption on economic growth has been studied in the literature.…”

This paper identifies the main determinants of errors in the allocation of spending by the Colombian Government. Using information from the Electronic Public Procurement System (SECOP), the determinants of the probability of an addition to a contract are identified. The errors of the government can be interpreted as an approximation of their corruption. The average income and educational level of a colombian department are found to directly influence the probability of an addition. Using the estimation of the binary choice models, the forecast error of an addition is estimated, it is found that public and civil works contracts have more forecast error, forming an ideal mechanism for thefts and accumulation of bribes. Our results show that predicting an addition can be done with high certainty.
