    Un mecanismo que refuerza la corrupción en las democracias actuales es la tolerancia de los ciudadanos a la corrupción. En este estudio analizamos la tolerancia a pagar sobornos usando datos de opinión pública en América Latina. El análisis muestra que la gente normaliza el pago de sobornos cuando desconfía de la integridad del régimen político, ya sea porque ha sido víctima de corrupción, percibe que la corrupción política está generalizada o siente desapego hacia el sistema político.

    In contemporary democracies, the prevalence of corruption is reinforced when citizens tolerate corruption. This study analyzes a particular tolerance of corruption: the willingness to pay bribes. We argue that tolerance of paying bribes is influenced by people’s distrust in the political system’s integrity. Analyzing public opinion surveys conducted in Latin America, we provide evidence that corruption victimization, perceptions of political corruption, and political disaffection increase the odds of expressing tolerance of corruption.
