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?

This chapter focuses on the European Union (EU) as one particular arena that produces binding decisions beyond the nation state. For scholars of global governance, the EU constitutes an interesting but idiosyncratic case: the EU's system of decision-making and enforcement is highly institutionalized; the EU covers a broad policy-remit, touching upon core areas of national sovereignty such as monetary policy or border control; and the EU is exceptionally intrusive and effective, producing binding laws that are widely complied with in its member states. At the same time, the nature of supranational governance - famously described as "less than a federation, more than a regime" (Wallace 1983) - remains open and undefined. For scholars of argumentation, deliberation and persuasion, the European Union is an equally fruitful object of study: the EU's deliberative decision-style is used to explain compliance with European law (Neyer 2004); the EU is conceptualized as an actor that projects "normative" rather than military power (Manners 2002) and the supranational decision-process serves as testing ground for theories of deliberation (Eriksen and Fossum 2000; Joerges and Neyer 1997a, 1997b), argumentation (Naurin 2010), problem-solving (Elgstr{\"o}m and J{\"o}nsson 2000), rhetorical action (Schimmelfennig 2001) and judgment (Kornprobst 2008).}, language = {en} } @misc{PisaniFerryJaillet2010, author = {Pisani-Ferry, Jean and Jaillet, Pierre}, title = {L'euro en 2019}, series = {Revue d'Economie Financi{\`e}re.

It is set to become an indispensable resource for everyone involved or interested in modern economic policy. Academic scholars willing to engage in policy discussions and students at graduate or advanced undergraduate levels will find it an essential bridge to the policy world. What makes the book unique is that it combines like no other, facts-based analysis, state-of-the art theories and models, and insights from first-hand policy experience at national and international levels. The book has grown out of ten years of experience teaching economic policy at the graduate level. It provides an intellectually coherent framework to understand the potentialities and limits of economic policy. It addresses positive dimensions (how do policies impact on modern economies?), normative dimensions (what should policymakers aim to achieve and against what should their action be judged?) and political-economy constraints (which are the limits and obstacles to public intervention?). It fills an important gap by reconciling in each major policy area stylized facts of recent economic history, key questions faced by contemporary policymakers, and essential lessons from theory which are captured and explained in a clear, concise, and self-contained way. All major areas of domestic and international policymaking are covered: fiscal policy, monetary policy, international finance and exchange-rate policy, tax policy, and long-term growth policies. The book concludes with a special chapter on the lessons of the financial crisis. The authors are intellectually non-partisan and they draw examples from various countries and experiences; from emerging markets to developing economies, shedding light when necessary on local specificities such as European Union rules and instruments.
