The Application of The Massive Socio-Economic Development Leakage from Corruption Index (∂ -n -Index) in the Case of Guatemala

This paper examines how to evaluate corruption based on the socio-economic development leakage that any country can experience in different historical periods. It is based on a new indicator entitled ”The Massive Socio-Economic Development Leakage from Corruption Index (∂-n-Index).” This index includes a new set of calculations such as (i) The inflation/poverty input-output table (IPIO-Table); (ii) total socio-economic development surplus or deficit (SE+ or SE-); (iii) socio-economic development leakage (-δ) and welfare (+δ); (iv) socio-economic development desgrowth (Ð); (v) socio-economic development box. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to evaluate corruption from an alternative approach. Finally, we suggest to apply the Massive Socio-Economic Development Leakage from Corruption Index (∂-n-Index) in the case of Guatemala from year 1986 to year 2023
