“…The opposite argument also finds support in the literature, however. Nationalist sentiments can be used to convince affluent citizens to support redistribution (Qari et al 2012). It may also be the case that the content of specific national identities, including their myths and narratives, can contribute to shaping views about redistribution.…”

What does it mean to identify with a social group? Are individuals’ group attachments tied to material or nonmaterial payoffs? What is the existing evidence for social identification due to nonmaterial payoffs? When do identities matter and for what sorts of behaviors? We highlight findings from several literatures in political science, ranging from voting and redistribution to violence and conflict, focusing on nonmaterial, identity-based motivations for behavior in these domains. Doing so allows us to draw out commonalities across research areas that are often held in isolation from one another and that frequently employ overlapping terminology. We summarize important findings and identify open questions; these questions include what the role played by elites is in shaping mass mobilization around identities and what the relationship is between social identities and social norms.

After first providing an overview of useful survey data sources and commonly studied variables in the area of tax compliance, this article outlines the major tools and exploratory methods used in the field, including laboratory and field experiments, simulations and surveys. It also discusses future possibilities and the data required to progress in this area. It is thus particularly useful as a guide for those planning or just beginning to work in the tax compliance field.

“…29 Of course, such policies may be 28 Further robustness checks with respect to the measurement of the dependent variable, the importance of specific countries as well as an analysis at the individual (see also footnote 25) were also performed. Our results are robust to such alternative specifications (see Qari et al 2009 for details). 29 There are a number of examples.…”
