The ‘Work and Corona’ Dashboard

Abstract: Open-science efforts often remain limited to the scientific community. Attempts to increase the audience, focus largely on communicating selected research results. The Work-and-Corona (WoCo) project aims to exemplify how quantitative social science projects can make their data accessible, thus connecting open science with public communication of scientific research. The Work and Corona (WoCo) project provides flexible, free and easy to use access to public opinion data in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic i… Show more

“…First, the experience of a broad-based, yet progressive, property tax reform in Freetown may have fed support for even more progressive but more narrowly focused taxation (taxing the wealthy and taxing large businesses). Second, it may be that support for taxing the wealthy and big businesses is somewhat more muted in the provinces because of, as alluded to earlier in the paper, a lack of trust in the potential for redistributive taxation and stronger status quo bias (Kalleitner et al 2021). As noted, however, we need to be cautious not to over interpret this data: in the absence of baseline data, or data about changes over time, these responses cannot tell us anything directly about the impact of the pandemic.…”

“…6 We may expect substantial popular support for progressive taxation and redistribution in lower-income countries, amidst high income and wealth inequality and currently weak taxation of wealthy groups. However, evidence suggests that there is often limited support among poorer people for redistributive policies from which they would benefit (Holland 2018;Hoy and Mager 2018;Kuziemko, Buell, Reich and Norton 2014;Roemer 1998) and a general lack of popular concern about inequality despite its growth (Mijs 2021), and that people's preferences about taxation are dependent on the status quo in any context, as people tend to use the status quo as an anchor for fairness judgmentseven where the status quo is unfair (Kalleitner, Bobzien and Szendrö 2021). One possible reason for this apparent puzzle is a general lack of trust in the state and in the fairness of the tax systemin Sierra Leone, illustratively, the majority of citizens believe that elites are easily able to avoid taxes (Afrobarometer 2018), 7 and there has been an 11 per cent increase from 2011 to 2021 in the proportion of individuals who believe that people often or always avoid paying taxes (Isbell 2022).…”
