Abstract

Within the context of the present work an experimental study is conducted which executes negotiations between the agent and bidders. In these contract awards the opportunity for bribes is simulated. The following issues are analyzed: on the one hand the willingness to be dishonest respectively to accept bribes and on the other hand the effect of different detection probabilities and the possibility of leniency policy. The new idea is the simulation of bribes and as a further step the consequences of leniency policy. Our motivation was created by recent developments of increasing cases of corruption worldwide. Quite a number of corruption cases are in the field of huge projects mainly in construction industry, building sector in general and energy sector and of course in all sorts of supplies of services. We ran an experiment and report some interesting results.
