Integrating Three Perspectives on Noncompliance: A Sequential Decision Model
Abstract
Drawing on decision research, a sequential decision-making model is outlined. The factors emphasized by three perspectives on explaining noncompliance enter the decision process at different stages because they are linked differently to more general effort-reducing procedures and because decision making about them differs in complexity. Norms require little decision effort and constrain the set of options considered in more complex decision making. Structural opportunities for successful noncompliance increase the substantive importance of compliance decisions and allow for differences in normative orientations to be realized. Deterrence decisions about the likelihood of detection are most likely undertaken by those in high opportunity situations with normative orientations toward noncompliance. Hypotheses from the model are supported by survey data on income tax noncompliance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
