So I don't know if this 2/3, 1/3 is an accurate number for the U.S.
-
It's probably not very far off actually.
-
For Italy I'm ashamed to say the number of people
-
who pay taxes is more like 40%, maybe even lower now,
-
and there are countries I think where it gets as high as 90%.
-
I think the U.S. rate when they end up auditing
-
is a little higher than this but not much.
-
So again, we're going to think of this not as randomization
-
but as a prediction of the proportion of American taxpayers
-
who are going to pay their taxes.
-
Now, I want to use this example in the time we have left,
-
to actually think about a policy experiment.
