Study title

The excel file contains a row per subject who undertook the experiment. This includes the values they entered for each of the four elements of the main incentivised choice within the experiment, the treatment the subject was randomly allocated to, derived measures as to the nature of their compliant (or non-compliant) behaviour and timings associated with each of the stages of the experiment.There is additional data in relation to the classification of their behaviour in the experiment.The primary research questions were to see if compliance would be reduced in treatments were incorrect information was used to pre-populate tax forms compared to conditions of no or correct information and which, if any, of a series of prompts might be able to improve levels of compliance.Good tax design and administration are central to the functioning of the economy. Taxes are important determinants of economic behaviour, and good implementation can significantly increase economic and social welfare. The role of the Tax Administration Research Centre is to deliver research that enhances tax policy and provides lasting benefit to the economy. There are many research tools that can contribute to this goal but the greatest success will be achieved by combining a range of research methodologies and disciplines. The Centre will unite researchers from two institutions with distinguished reputations for research into tax administration and tax design. Complementary abilities and methodologies will be brought together to address a wide range of intersecting research projects. The research methodologies will include economic modelling, econometric analysis, experimentation, numerical simulation, and qualitative analysis. In undertaking its work the Centre will make extensive use of the HMRC/HMT Datalab to permit innovative empirical work to be undertaken. Some examples of the research projects to be conducted at the Centre are: Risk-based auditing and taxpayers' responses will investigate...
