fiscal capacity and accountability in African states

Across the developing world, governments still lack the fiscal capacity to fund critical public goods, alleviate poverty, and invest in economic development. This book develops and tests a new theory to explain why fiscal capacity in African states is low. Drawing on work in psychology and behavioral economics, it argues that taxation leads citizens to demand more from leaders as they seek to recover lost income from taxation.--, Provided by publisher
