讲座题目：Economic research methodologies: application to tax evasion

主  讲 人： Gareth Myles教授

主要内容：

Tax evasion leads to a significant loss of government revenue and a distortion of economic incentives. The lecture will show how the economic analysis can allow us to measure the extent of tax evasion and to identify the sectors where it occurs. The decision to evade taxes is an economic choice, and will be explained using recent developments in behavioural economics. The lecture will conclude with a discussion of how economic modelling can be used to design better government policy to reduce the amount of evasion.
