On doing relevant and rigorous experiments: Review and recommendations (2018, background): “Moreover, ecological (Dhami, Hertwig, & Hoffrage, 2004; Highhouse, 2009) and external validity issues (Berkowitz & Donnerstein, 1982; Guala, 2003; Guala & Mittone, 2005; Kessler & Vesterlund, 2015; Ketokivi & McIntosh, 2017) can weaken the generalizability and practical relevance of experiments.”
Combining Psychology and Economics in the Analysis of Compliance: From Enforcement to Cooperation (2012, background): “Guala and Mittone (2005) studied tax behavior in laboratory experiments by simulating tax filings over a “60-period taxpaying life span”, and found a strong decrease in taxpayers’ compliance immediately after an audit. This finding, which they called the “bomb crater effect”, has proved quite robust”
Sequences of audits, tax compliance, and taxpaying strategies (2009, unknown): “Guala and Mittone (2005) and Mittone (2006) studied tax behavior in laboratory experiments by simulating tax ﬁlings over a ‘‘taxpaying life span.””
