摘要：Both concepts, integrity and public integrity, are always asked qualities in the social andeconomic environment, but they are never well defined. In this context, finding precise definitions and offeringan ample explanation of the concepts are desired and useful for both economic theoretical and practical levelsand become the aim of the present paper. Without a good understanding of a concept, no one is capable toattain it. In this context, it is impossible to ask for a public sector of integrity if both public actors and thecitizens do not know what it really means. Therefore, the public actors first have to understand what integrityreally supposes, and, then, to be capable to respect its principles. Taking into consideration the effects ofpublic integrity or, on its opposite, of the divergence from it, especially represented by the phenomenon ofcorruption, on the economy at the macro, but also, on the micro level, public integrity in itself becomes a realeconomic problem that is aimed to be extensively analyzed through our interdisciplinary approach
