The effect of punishment on tax compliance : evidence from a randomized experiment

Kotsadam, Andreas; Løyland, Knut; Madland, Kjetil R.; … - 2026

The severity of punishment is the "neglected sibling" of the Allingham-Sandmo deterrence model: credible field-experimental evidence on whether taxpayers respond more to being caught or to being punished has been scarce because governments rarely randomize sanctions. We address this gap with a...

Divided we act : the role of social sanctions in a polarized world

Dimant, Eugen; Gelfand, Michele J.; Hochleitner, Anna; … - 2026

Social sanctions sustain social order by reinforcing widely accepted principles. Political polarization may weaken this mechanism by fragmenting these principles, yet causal effects are hard to identify: observational data cannot separate the effect of polarized preferences from exposure to...

Country perceptions shape transnational bribery and its deterrence

Siol, Jasper Z.; Dorrough, Angela R.; Strang, Louis Mick; … - 2026

Organisations benefit from the timely disclosure of mistakes, yet workers often conceal their errors. We examine the role of blame avoidance, hypothesising that mistakes associated with a larger loss in potential earnings increase blame and discourage disclosure. This creates a paradox: mistakes...
