영문 초록

This paper examines comparative statics predictions for the response to first-order stochastic dominance (FSD) and mean preserving spreads (MPS) shifts about the tax rate on tax evasion when the distributions of the tax base and of the tax rate are stochastically dependent. For MPS changes, in this more general setting, we confirm a previously reported result that, under plausible assumptions on risk preferences, greater tax-rate risk decreases reported income, thereby increasing tax evasion. We also provide comparative statics effects of FSD and MPS changes in the tax exemption on tax evasion.
