Should I pay for a car I didn't want? Political representation, tax morale and investment choices, a study of the Italian case.

Abstract

This thesis aims at exploring the possible relationships between political representation, electoral preferences and communication and tax compliance, to investigate whether or not there is a political component to tax morale, and on the other hand the public debt ownership distribution, to probe the extent with which foreign and local investors believe that a certain government might influence national economic performance and stability.
