Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to establish a microeconomics model of corruption based on the behavioural sciences.
Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is a practical exploration, first in the convergence of the economics of corruption and the behavioural sciences; based on these conclusions, the microeconomic model of corruption is formulated.
Findings
The paper concludes in a model of the microeconomics of corruption.
Research limitations/implications
There are no limitations in the model.
Practical implications
The practical implications are calculating the rent for corruption in the different scenarios.
Social implications
The social implications are knowing the income from corruption.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is original, and there is no microeconomics model of corruption formulated in the academic field, only in this work.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways for the formulation of a model for calculating the cost of corruption per country, taking into account the social cost.
Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is practical exploration; the model is formulated along with the social cost of specific calculation. Based on two specific acts of corruption, bribery and overpricing of public works, these acts are private and public corruption. From there, the model is formulated along with the social cost of specific calculation, based on two specific acts of corruption, bribery and overpricing of public works.
Findings
This paper concludes that the model is applicable to all the countries of the world, based on their tax structure.
Research limitations/implications
Limitations do not exist in the model; the additional implications are the extension of the model. The model can be used for local governments or countries.
Practical implications
Countries can calculate the theoretical cost of corruption in their local, regional or national economies, based on two specific acts of corruption, in political, private and public corruption; bribery and overpricing of public works.
Social implications
The social implications include knowing the theoretical cost of corruption and their effects.
Originality/value
The model calculates the cost of corruption and its economic and social impact.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to establish the theory of the fraud star and the formulation of its microeconomic model, based on the behavioural sciences.
Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is a practical exploration, first in the convergence of the economics of fraud and the behavioural sciences, based on these tools, formulating the new theory of the star of fraud and formulating its microeconomic model.
Findings
The paper concludes with a new model of the fraud star theory and its microeconomic modelling. Take into account the new theory of the fraud star of this article.
Research limitations/implications
There are no limitations in the model.
Practical implications
The practical implications are to apply the new fraud star theory and calculate your income, in different scenarios.
Social implications
The social implication is to know the income for the crime of fraud, according to the level of regulations, control and effective punishment.
Originality/value
The present work is original; there is no new theory of the fraud star, nor its microeconomic model, and it does not exist in the academic field, only in this work.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to formulate the cost of corruption and undue private benefit.
Design/methodology/approach
The design is based on cost formulas of the corruption already formulated, and the design of these formulas allows the calculation for Argentina in 2021 of the cost of the corruption.
Findings
The corruption cost models for bribes and cost overruns for public works are the theoretical basis for obtaining the undue private benefit. Based on the formulas developed to calculate the costs of corruption for Argentina 2021.
Research limitations/implications
There are no limitations in the model.
Practical implications
In addition to the calculation of the cost of corruption, the formula of private profit undue by corruption is developed.
Social implications
The social implications are certainty about the cost of corruption for Argentina in 2021.
Originality/value
The present work is original and its value is given by the formulation and practical demonstration of the cost of corruption for Argentina in 2021 and the undue private benefit.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to formulate a new theory of corruption based on the discretionary decisions of the government and the distribution of income in the economy, where corruption pays taxes and is in the legal channels of the economy.
Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is the practical exploration, based on events in the current Argentine economy, where this theory of corrupt phenomena is fulfilled, changing the approach to corruption, transforming corruption into legal.
Findings
The document concludes that the model is applicable to any country in the world, given the conditions of the theory formulated.
Research limitations/implications
There is a paradigm shift, it transforms corruption into legal.
Practical implications
In this new theory of great corruption, the consequence is that it is very difficult to combat it, because it is developed based on legal, regulatory and ethical norms.
Social implications
The social implications are through discretionary decisions of governments, large inequitable income redistributions, in favour of interest groups, pressure groups, private companies and the same state, with negative social consequences for the population.
Originality/value
This theory is original; it has not been formulated in the study of the types of corruption in the world.
