RIASCOS CARABALI, Steven e CASTILLO VALENCIA, María del Pilar. Reckoning as a Mechanism to Correct Criminal Contracts. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, pp.67-88. Epub 24-Nov-2020. ISSN 0121-6805. https://doi.org/doi.org/10.18359/rfce.4263.
This paper aims to model reckoning as the result of the interaction between the head of a criminal organization (principal) and his/her subordinate (agent) in a context of asymmetric information. Reckoning is shown to be a mechanism chosen by the principal to correct the agent's opportunistic behavior. This analysis allows understanding why fatal punishments are fundamental to maintaining order and obedience in the criminal world.
