Apuntes sobre teor\'ia del comportamiento corrupto: nociones cibern\'eticas e inform\'aticas para una actualizaci\'on de la ecuaci\'on de Klitgaard

TL;DR

This paper explores how information theory and cybernetics can update Klitgaard's corruption formula, analyzing digital society mechanisms like entropy and feedback systems to improve anti-corruption strategies.

Contribution

It introduces a cybernetic and informational perspective to enhance understanding and policy design against corruption, updating Klitgaard's formula with modern digital concepts.

Findings

Corruption can be modeled using cybernetic feedback mechanisms.

Information pressure and entropy influence corrupt behaviors.

Proposes systemic approaches for anti-corruption policies.

Abstract

This essay presents an exploration of elements from information theory and cibernetics on the struggle against corruption behavior in public sector and beyond; the existence of an exemplary or corrupt ethical equilibriums are explored by updating Klitgaard corruption formula along with the presence of information pressure, entropy and cibernetics servomechanisms in digital societies, including alternatives and sistemics approaches for further anti-corruption policies implementation.
