Strategic Taxation: Fiscal Capacity and Accountability in African States
ISBN: 9780197672648 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Across the developing world, governments still lack the fiscal capacity to fund critical public goods, alleviate poverty, and invest in economic development. Yet, we know little about how to effectively build strong states in these settings. This book develops and tests a new theory to explain why fiscal capacity in African states is low. Drawing on work in psychology and behavioral economics, this book argues that taxation leads citizens to demand more from leaders as they seek to recover lost income from taxation. It then argues that governments' willingness to tax will depend on the extent...

ISBN: 9783030863296 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
