A dynamic simulation approach to frame drivers and implications of corruption practices on firm performance
2014
Corruption is a multifaceted socio-economic phenomenon widely spread - although with different intensity - all around the world. Many studies on corruption have been conducted at a country-level, but relatively little effort has been placed in evaluating its implications, in terms of both financial and competitive performance, at a firm-level. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the causal relationships underlying the effect of corruption on firm performance in order to show the different scenarios that may emerge from the combination between external (i.e., contextual conditions) and internal (i.e., organizational characteristics) forces that drive corruption. To this end, we adopt a D…
The law and criminology in perception of corruption crime area
2017
Doktrynalne ujęcie korupcji stanowi przykład modelowej interdyscyplinarności tematu, jednakże często pozostawia wiele wątpliwości z uwagi na rozbieżności w postrzeganiu zjawisk towarzyszących korupcji. Autor podejmuje próbę przeglądu literatury, a także dokonuje analizy prawno-porównawczej norm prawa międzynarodowego oraz polskiego w odniesieniu do form korupcji. Z uwagi na brak uniwersalnego charakteru definicji legalnych, rozwiązaniem wydaje się wyodrębnienie kryminologicznych form korupcji, które ułatwić mogą jej percepcję, a w rezultacie prowadzić do skuteczniejszej walki z korupcją poprzez dobór właściwych metod technicznych oraz taktycznych.
Modeling Political Corruption in Spain
2021
Political corruption is a universal phenomenon. Even though it is a cross-country reality, its level of intensity and the manner of its effect vary worldwide. In Spain, the demonstrated political corruption cases that have been echoed by the media in recent years for their economic, judicial and social significance are merely the tip of the iceberg as regards a problem hidden by many interested parties, plus the shortage of the means to fight against it. This study models and quantifies the population at risk of committing political corruption in Spain by identifying and quantifying the drivers that explain political corruption. Having quantified the problem, the model allows changes to be …

Il problema della definizione della "illiceità"della mediazione nel nuovo reato di traffico di influenze illecite
2022
Le modifiche apportate al delitto di traffico d’influenze illecite ad opera della legge n. 3/2019 hanno accentuato il deficit di determinatezza che già caratterizzava la fattispecie sin dalla sua introduzione, delineando un modello di incriminazione incapace di selezionare le condotte di intermediazione penalmente rilevanti distinguendole dalla attività di lobbying consentita. Il lavoro analizza la specifica questione dell’interpretazione del predicato di “illiceità” della mediazione esaminando le diverse tesi proposte in dottrina e in giurisprudenza. Conclusivamente, l’Autore ritiene che l’interpretazione restrittiva dell’art. 346-bis c.p., che inquadra la fattispecie come delitto “avampos…
