Abstract

Legitimacy may result from support for projects that a government implements. However, legitimacy may also result from the opportunity to participate in the selection process of projects. We tested the strength of these competing sources of legitimacy experimentally and their relationship. We find a straightforward effect of the former: the more projects a participant supports, the higher their taxes. Participants are also willing to pay for participation; if they have had a say, they pay higher taxes. Yet, most of this effect is actually instrumental: participants want participation to ensure that their taxes are used for purposes they deem acceptable.

结果还是参与?实验性地测试税收合法性的竞争来源

合法性可能来自对政府实施的项目的支持。然而，合法性也可能来自参与项目选择过程的机会。我们通过实验测试了这些相互竞争的合法性来源的强度及其关系。我们发现前者的直接影响是:参与者支持的项目越多，他们的税收就越高。参与者也愿意为参与付费;如果他们有发言权，他们就要缴纳更高的税。然而，这种影响实际上大多是工具性的:参与者希望参与，以确保他们的税收被用于他们认为可以接受的目的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
