In order to determine the main reasons for the lag in the payment of the Property Tax of the Municipality of Chihuahua and to ascertain if there is a culture of nonpayment in the taxpayers, an investigation was carried out in this regard. The hypothesis proposed was that the main reason for the lag in the payment of the property tax was the lack of economic resources. The nature of the research was quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, and transectional. The macro variable to be analyzed was lagged in the payment of taxes. The sampling frame was confirmed by the list of taxpayer debtors of the property tax. A confidence level of 95% and margin of error of 5% was used in the study. This, however, was drawn from a sample of 375 contributors to whom the survey designed by the researchers was applied. These were applied randomly in a shopping center in the city. The stated objectives were met and it was found that 6% of respondents have a culture of non-payment, while 94% plan to pay.

The pathogenesis of three differentSchistosoma mansonistrains from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais (BH strain) and São Paulo (SJ and SD strains) was evaluated in experimentally infected mice. Observations of the most severe clinical cases among local patients treated (SD strain) in the city of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil) formed the basis of this study. Mice were used as definitive hosts and were infected with cercariae fromBiomphalaria tenagophila(SJ and SD strains) andBiomphalaria glabrata(BH strains). The parameters analyzed were as follows: number ofS. mansonieggs in mice feces; number of granulomas per tissue area in liver, spleen, lungs, pancreas, and ascending colon; measurements of hepatic and intestinal granulomas; number of adult worms; and measurements of trematode eggs. The comparison among the three strains indicated that the SD strain, isolated in Campinas, presented a higher worm recovery relative to the number of penetrating cercariae. In addition, when compared to the SJ and BH strains, the SD strain demonstrated similar pathogenicity to the BH strain, with a greater quantity of granulomas in the viscera, as well as larger granulomas and eggs. Furthermore, a greater quantity of trematode eggs was also shed in the feces.

The St. John's commercial community took little interest in the administration of the Municipal Council from the city's incorporation in 1888 to 1913. Most prominent merchants were pressed for time because of their businesses; they preferred either to sit in the prestigious Legislative Council or, occasionally, to seek election to the House of Assembly. Under the terms of the 1888 Municipal Act, membership in these legislative bodies gave the merchants considerable control over the city's finances and management. The Municipal Council constantly experienced financial difficulties because of insufficient revenue for improvements. The aim of the civic reform movement organized in December, 1913, by William Gilbert Gosling, the President of the Board of Trade, was to devise means of obtaining additional revenue for municipal improvements. In effect, this meant increasing the property tax, a prospect the city's merchants were forced to accept to achieve an improved water supply for greater fire protection. The additional revenue was to be used also to provide better housing for the poor and to improve public health and sanitary conditions. Early in 1914 the Board of Trade was successful in having the elective council replaced by an appointed commission of businessmen. This commission was intended to administer the city for one year from July 1, 1914, re-organize the various municipal departments, and draft a new municipal charter that would give the council the revenue it required. Gosling's initiative set in motion the events that led to the charter of 1921, the basis of present-day municipal government in St. John's.

In the more recent past, property tax reform in the City of Toronto has been thwarted by suggestions of "progressive elements" in the single residential tax base, that hold out prospects of regressive shifts in the residential tax burden in the wake of a reassessment. Study of the evolution of the tax base in five city neighbourhoods since the early 1920s indicates that these progressive elements are largely an unintended consequence of historical changes in neighbourhood real estate markets. Moreover, what potential there is for regressive tax shifts could be offset significantly by some updated form of a partial graded dwelling house exemption in the City's traditional property tax system. The urban history of the Toronto property tax, however, does illustrate the political and technical challenges of property tax reform through market value assessment.

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the role of government in encouraging fiscal compliance from the theoretical perspective of the ‘Ecology of Games'. Conceptual representations of human behaviour in formal complex institutions, located within Behavioural Economics Political Game Theory, presuppose it is possible for government agencies to strategically influence the behavioural preferences and consumption patterns of individual actors and groups in society. This study presents an empirical case concerned with the implementation and use of an electronic property tax collection system in Bangalore, India developed between 1998 and 2008.
