CORRUPTION AND DEVELOPMENT IN JUNIN. A MICRO-ECONOMIC FOCUS

Abstract

This work analyzed economic agents, corruption level in Junin department, and the impacts in a direct way in the development process. The objectives were: To determinate the level corruption about in the institutional economic agents. I can say, the more corrupt it is a society, but late he/she is and this one can see at world level, where one can observe that the poorest countries are the most corrupt. Our central hypothesis was that the department of Junín is in high levels of corruption and this hypothesis it was contrasted, finding that to Junín he/she is considered as "the capital of the corruption" (12,5% of index of perception of corruption and government administration, double the national average). Our hypothesis was also that the judicial power and the professionals linked to the judicial power, like they are the lawyers, they were the sectors more corrupt and this hypothesis was contrasted affirmatively. In this investigation process we discoved that it does care the ideology or the level of revenues so that a person is considered or make corrupt acts. Same without ideology distinction or level of revenues people are corrupt and more responds to a cultural process. But at the same time the sectors of more revenues obtain bigger benefits in situations of high corruption like in the Peruvian case and in the department of Junín. And simultaneously with these levels of corruption the poverty increases and the development process is broken.
