In an attempt to overcome common-method biases, the present study tests the main assumptions of the SSF with a sample of 44 countries/regions. Country/region-level trust and power indices are calculated based on experimental data involving 14,509 participants and related to shadow economy estimates and – as an alternative indicator of non-compliance – corruption indices. The results indicate that both trust and power are negatively related to the size of the shadow economy and the extent of corruption. These results emphasise the importance of both SSF dimensions in combating tax evasion and counterproductive behaviour within a society in general.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44573280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses an important question regarding the key aspect of the experimental environment: How should the dependent variable – participants’ choices – be operationalised? For the specific context of laboratory research on income tax compliance, we compare the effects of the two most common operationalisation types: the declaration of gross income versus the declaration of tax payment. It is found that compliance is higher when participants indicate their tax payment than when they declare their income. It is also discovered that the effects of the three policy parameters of the economic model (the tax rate, audit probability and fine rate) are stronger when participants declare their taxes than when they declare their income. These results are relevant for interpreting prior and future experimental evidence on tax compliance and can explain some contradictory previous findings. More broadly, this study suggests that the results of laboratory experiments may depend on specific features of the experimental design, which proposes a strong need for more systematic methodological research.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our central conclusion is that many, perhaps most, of the recent insights on what motivates tax compliance have flowed directly from behavioural economics. We conclude with suggestions on – and predictions of – directions in which future applications should prove useful.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44213139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper quantitatively defines digital literacy with recently released household survey data in China and describes the digital divide across regions and ages. We further show that digital literacy increases risky asset ownership in the financial market among the middle-aged and elderly population. In this sense, this paper identifies a novel factor that affects financial investment. These findings imply that the digital divide may lead to the asset divide and wealth inequality. Family and social assistance to improve the digital literacy of disadvantaged population groups may increase financial inclusion as well.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44002701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a series of experiments, subjects completed behavioural tasks and made a one-shot tax evasion decision. We estimate a negative weakly significant treatment effect, which suggests that an exogenous increase in the testosterone level may inhibit the decision to evade taxes. Our results also suggest that higher dominance and independent self-construal, as well as lower self-control, are associated with a greater likelihood of tax evasion. We discuss the mechanisms potentially linking testosterone to tax evasion.

We address the question with a large and highly diverse international dataset and an operationalisation strategy that allows our findings to cohere with previous work while shedding new light on future research. The findings presented in this article are drawn from original data gathered as part of one of the largest tax compliance experiments ever conducted, involving more than 3,000 participants in six countries, across 16 different laboratories. Our results reveal that subjects’ behaviour correlates with their past experimental experiences, in a way that could bias results and compromise a study’s external validity. However, this change in behaviour due to experiences occurs only after subjects have participated in at least two previous laboratory experiments. The findings have implications not just for tax compliance research, but for allocation experiments more generally and for participant recruitment particularly.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47024512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The finding is robust with the use of the quantile regression approach, controlling for firm and worker specific information. One plausible explan-ation is that the Stolper – Samuelson theorem, which assumes that increasing international trade will decrease the skill wage, is unlikely to hold in the context of a developing economy, where the skilled labour is in short supply. Robert P. Giloth ’ s paper, entitled ‘ The role of intermediaries in US workforce and education innovation ’ , analyses the role of intermediaries in the US education and workforce domains in terms of overcoming fragmented institutions and solving mismatch problems. This study explores five mismatches prevalent in the US labour market and their associated intermediary solutions, including organising business to improve human resources, creating improved pathways from school to work, integrat-ing and emphasising multiple education investments, linking workforce and economic development, and improving access to and use of data for design, performance man-agement and advocacy. In conclusion, the study suggests that intermediaries have been most effective in the US when aligned with education and workforce system improve-ment and redesign, not as parallel and separate efforts. The result may also provide implications for other countries that use intermediaries as a potential institutional solu-tion to the labour market mismatch.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42977309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using provincial-level data of political leaders in China over the period 1995–2015, we take a two-step approach to first examine the impact of top leader teams’ (TLTs) traits on productivity and, second, to test if such leadership effects vary with political uncertainty. We find that TLTs’ education, generally a driving force behind productivity, is less effective during the period of high political uncertainty. TLTs’ work experience positively contributes to productivity, which is strengthened under high political uncertainty. TLTs’ career ambition leads to higher productivity, but such an effect attenuates when political uncertainty is high. Finally, TLTs’ political positions negatively contribute to productivity and the effect is barely affected by political uncertainty, suggesting a disconnection between political positions and economic outcomes.","PeriodicalId":44280,"journal":{"name":"Economic and Political Studies-EPS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47112257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
