Abstract

This study is a cursory study to introduce the perspective of behavioral economics in anti-corruption policy studies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evaluation of anti-corruption policies using the heuristics of behavioral economics as an analysis tool.
 Since AIA is Korea's representative anti-corruption policy that evaluates anti-corruption efforts of 629 institutions, it is necessary to analyze the process and contents that have been reorganized for 20 years since 2002. This study analyzed the evaluation system such as AIA's promotion system, analyzed major heuristics and biases as tools for detailed evaluation indicators, and suggested improvement plans. Availability heuristic, representativeness heuristic, affect heuristic, anchoring effect, framing effect, priming effect, hindsight bias were mainly used in this study.
 Affect heuristic and anchoring effect were found in the evaluation system and analysis of the evaluation participants. Next, detailed indicators were analyzed through the process of changing evaluation indicators, and the expansion and reinforcement of evaluation indicators such as “protection of corruption and public interest reporters” and “public-private cooperation and governance” were recently reduced or deleted.
 Overall, it was proposed to operate in a careful and flexible model in consideration of H in the evaluation index.
 Finally, an example of heuristics that can be used to design evaluation indicators is presented, and research that can be used for institutional anti-corruption policies such as selective design using heuristics is presented as a future task.
