This project seeks to better understand how participatory institutions influence taxpayers’ attitudes, knowledge, and behaviours in three key areas related to taxation: reciprocity, accountability, and trust. At the broadest level, the team hypothesise that participatory budgeting (PB) programmes will generate greater perceptions of reciprocity, accountability, and trust than in counties using other types of participatory institutions.
