Las políticas de integridad corporativa como política económica en la OCDE

ABSTRACT:

The traditional economic doctrine of the 20th century was focused on investigating, from different perspectives, the relationship between corruption (and related economic crimes) and growth and economic development. However, new OECD economic policies and recommendations are clearly committed to a greater role of institutional factors in the social damage inherent in corruption offenses. Using an econometric analysis methodology (probit regression model) and a complete-linkage clustering statistical method, in this paper we show the growing importance of corporate compliance in the OECD. Especially, from the legal regulation of the liability of legal persons and the appointment of a compliance officer. Our research results suggest that, on the one hand, there has been a geographical expansion of this integrity policy from the Anglo-Saxon countries to the rest of the OECD member countries and that, on the other hand, institutional and historical aspects are regaining importance in the functioning of the world economy as a lever of change for corporate integrity.
