OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Tax Enforcement and the Intended and Unintended Consequences of Information Disclosure
We quantify the intended and unintended consequences to firms of increasing tax information disclosure to the IRS. Our empirical strategy leverages an exogenously staggered adoption of a redesigned tax form. We find that the redesign was successful at increasing compliance after 2011 among some firms, the intended consequence. At the same time, we find that firms changed their reporting in a way that decreased expected tax liability, an unintended consequence. We estimate that this unintended behavior reduced corporate receipts by $1.3 billion.
