Barometer

One of the main problems in measuring corruption is the difficulty of obtaining reliable data on existing cases, a good deal of which is due to the diversity of measuring tools, whose scope, methodology and object differ considerably. So the indicators of citizens’ perception and the evolution of these indicators are extremely useful, among other reasons because economic agents and citizen response alters on the basis of perceptions.

The information on social attitudes to this phenomenon tells us about the level of acceptance of behaviour that lacks integrity.

This knowledge helps us define effective anti-corruption policies and actions aimed at bringing about the cultural changes that should occur at the same time.

The Anti-Fraud Office conducted its first monographic study encompassing all Catalonia in 2010. The barometers from 2012 and 2014 maintained the series on perception, which enables us to perform analysis from the comparative and evolutive perspective. Moreover, each study addresses specific, cross-cutting subjects, such as transparency or conflicts of interest.
