Abstract

This section provides a brief review of selected peer-reviewed publications from the first half of 2016 that investigate aspects of taxpayer and tax authority relations. It does not purport to be comprehensive, but rather gives a flavour of the variety of research studies from around the world. They are presented under broad headings, and in no particular order within those headings. The papers summarised here come from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds including economics, psychology, law and public policy.
