| Sumario: | It is suggested that there is a social norm of tax compliance that affects individual reporting decisions and that can be affected by government institutions. Experimental methods are employed to test this hypothesis: an experimental design that captures the essential features of the fiscal and voting system present in many countries is presented. Results are consistent with a central role for social norms in tax compliance behavior. However, results also suggest that the social norm of tax compliance can be affected by group communication. |
