| Sumario: | This study extends the current state of literature on academic dishonesty, modeling the likelihood to engage in this practice in a private university in Mexico.

A survey with two hundred college students indicate that the number of incidents of cheating is significantly higher than standard estimations in the United States; the quality of students’ so- cial networks is the most important factor explaining chea- ting and honor codes, whose perceived enforcement does not deter cheating. |
