Abstract Identifying taxpayers who engage in noncompliant behaviour is crucial for tax authorities to determine appropriate taxation schemes. However, because taxpayers have an incentive to conceal their true income, it is difficult for tax authorities to uncover such behaviour (social desirability bias). Our study mitigates the bias in responses to sensitive questions by employing the list experiment technique, which allows us to identify the characteristics of taxpayers who engage in tax evasion. Using a dataset obtained from a tax office in Jakarta, Indonesia, we conducted a computer-assisted telephone interviewing survey in 2019. Our results revealed that 13% of the taxpayers, old, male, corporate employees, and members of a certain ethnic group had reported lower income than their true income on their tax returns. These findings suggest that our research design can be a useful tool for understanding tax evasion and for developing effective taxation schemes that promote tax compliance.

Item Count Technique

In this article, I review recent developments of the item-count technique (also known as the unmatched-count or list-experiment technique) and introduce a new package, kict, for statistical analysis of the item-count data. This package contains four commands: kict deff performs a diagnostic test to detect the violation of an assumption underlying the item-count technique. kict ls and kict ml perform least-squares estimation and maximum likelihood estimation, respectively. Each encompasses a number of estimators, offering great flexibility for data analysis. kict pfci is a postestimation command for producing confidence intervals with better coverage based on profile likelihood. The development of the item-count technique is still ongoing. I will continue to update the kict package accordingly.

Balloon System

In the two-balloon experiment, two rubber balloons are connected and allowed to exchange gas. Owing to the non-monotonic relationship between the radius of the balloon and the pressure of gas inside it, the two-balloon system presents multi- and in-stabilities. Herein, we consider a two-adsorbent system, where two different adsorbents are allowed to exchange gas. We show that, for rigid adsorbents, the thermodynamic equilibrium state is unique. Then, we consider an adsorbent–balloon system, where an adsorbent exchanges gas with a rubber balloon. This system can exhibit multiple states at thermodynamic equilibrium– two (meta)stable and one unstable. The size of the balloon, pressure of gas in the balloon, and partitioning of gas between the adsorbent and the balloon differ among the equilibrium states. Temperature changes and the addition/removal of gas into/from the adsorbent–balloon system can induce catastrophe bifurcations and show hysteresis. Furthermore, the adsorbent–balloon system exhibits a critical temperature where, when approached from below, the discrepancy of balloon size between the two (meta)stable states decreases and, beyond, bistability is impossible. Practically, our findings preclude multiple partitions of adsorbed gas in rigid, mixed-linker or stratified metal-organic frameworks and may inspire new soft actuator and sensor designs.
