A case of dictator game in public finances-fiscal illusion between agents

Abstract

This paper discusses Fiscal Illusion as a special case of Agents and Multiagents Systems. Under fiscal illusion, each taxpayer does not realize how much he/she really pays to the State; therefore, he/she does not evaluate well the public actions. We will study this issue as a particular case of a 'Dictator game' with relevant applications not only for Public Finances but also for specific domains like Pervasive agents and Ambient Intelligence, or for User-centered applications and Assisting Agents. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
