We introduce an empirical model that distinguishes between two separate effects from public reserve prices: (1) a mechanical effect, which is driven by the design of the English auction and (2) a psychological reference-dependence effect through reserve prices serving as reference points. The psychological effect has recently been introduced in behavioral models of situations where agents are uncertain about their own willingness-to-pay, while the mechanical effect is well captured by standard auction theory. Controlling for censoring when players are not sold, both effects are observed. Once we account for the potential endogeneity of reserve prices, however, we do not find evidence for reference dependence in Hattrick auctions.}, language = {en} } @article{TraxlerSlemrod, author = {Traxler, Christian and Slemrod, Joel}, title = {Optimal Observability in a Linear Income Tax}, series = {Economics Letters}, volume = {108}, journal = {Economics Letters}, number = {2}, issn = {0165-1765}, doi = {10.1016/j.econlet.2010.04.044}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-21590}, pages = {105 -- 108}, abstract = {We study the optimal observability of the tax base within the standard linear income tax problem, where observability is determined by the government's investment into the accurate measurement of the tax base.}, language = {en} } @article{Traxler, author = {Traxler, Christian}, title = {Social Norms and Conditional Cooperative Taxpayers}, series = {European Journal of Political Economy}, volume = {26}, journal = {European Journal of Political Economy}, number = {1}, issn = {0176-2680}, doi = {10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2009.11.001}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-21603}, pages = {89 -- 103}, abstract = {This paper incorporates tax morale into the Allingham and Sandmo (1972) model of income tax evasion. Tax morale is modeled as a social norm for tax compliance. The strength of the norm is shaped endogenously, depending on the share of evaders in the society. Taxpayers act conditionally cooperative as their evasion depends on the others' compliance. We characterize the equilibrium which accounts for this interdependence and study the implications for tax and enforcement policies. The analysis is extended to the case of a society consisting of heterogenous communities. Individual evasion decisions are then embedded in a complex social structure and behavior is influenced by the norm compliance among morale reference groups. Within this framework, we highlight the role of belief management as an alternative policy tool.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Stockmann, author = {Stockmann, Daniela}, title = {Information Overload?
