CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper revisits earlier studies on the determinants of tax amnesties. The novel findings are (i) amnesties are more likely to be declared during fiscal stress periods, and (ii) political factors significantly affect the introduction and timing of amnesties. In particular, the paper empirically disentangles opposite theoretical effects to show that governors perceive amnesties as another revenue source (rather than a tax increase alternative). Finally, supporting evidence shows that by breaking horizontal equity, amnesties might be perceived as unfair: a significant correlation exists between governors who lost their reelection bids and the introduction of a tax amnesty during their election years. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/222 606 $aTax amnesty$zUnited States 606 $aTax collection$zUnited States 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aPublic Administration$2imf 606 $aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aSubnational tax$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aFiscal risks$2imf 606 $aTax equity$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aTax administration and procedure$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aTax amnesty 615 0$aTax collection 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aPublic Administration 615 7$aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aSubnational tax 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aFiscal risks 615 7$aTax equity 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aTax administration and procedure 700 $aLe Borgne$b Eric$01606018 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822787103321 996 $aEconomic and Political Determinants of Tax Amnesties in the U.S. States$93998555 997 $aUNINA
