“…corruption, while not strictly an economic problem, has so severely hindered the progress of justice that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has fostered the spread of social injustice.” Professor Mubyarto (1984)

The sixth Mubyarto Public Policy Forum will be held on Friday, 4 November 2022. Dr Rimawan Pradiptyo (Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Gadjah Mada) will present research that uses an experimental design to investigate the deterrence effects of fines on corruption. Using a series of games simulated opportunities for embezzlement and bribery, Pradiptyo et al found that experimental groups who faced the risk of financial penalties had lower rates of corruption, even when the penalty was small. This is significant for public policy in Indonesia, where the private sector in particular does not face adequate anti-corruption regulation.

Dr Arianto Patunru (ANU) and Dr Vivi Alatas (Asakreativita) will be discussants.
