Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe use of Expected Utility Theory (EUT) in Taxpayers' Behaviour ModellingFarid Ameur, Mohamed TkiouatIn this study, we analyze taxpayers' behaviour regarding tax system. We present a theoretical study of a model pre established by other authors based on the expected utility theory; taxpayer's behavior is assumed to be risk-averse. We have released some conditions of this model and we have introduced a new parameter reflecting the efficiency of tax control; we found that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,522 accessesView PDFCite
