Corruption in Public Procurement: Finding the Right Indicators

Red flags are widely used to minimize the risk of corruption in public procurement. Drawing on criminal investigations, the literature has developed several indicators of corruption in public procurements and has put them forward as viable risk indicators. But are they genuinely viable, if only corrupt procurements are analyzed? Using a dataset of 192 public procurements – with 96 cases where corruption was detected and 96 cases where corruption was not detected – this paper addresses the identification of significant risk indicators of corruption. With this paper we tap into one of the most vulnerable areas of criminological research – selecting the right sample – and consequently, our results can help increase the detection of corruption, increase investigation effectiveness and minimize corruption opportunities.
