Associate Professor Zhixin Dai, School of Finance at Renmin University of China, was invited to share his latest research in the new Finance Salon of the Faculty of Finance at City University of Macau. The research, which aimed to tackle issues such as tax evasion, examined the effect of text message intervention on tax behavior through a series of intervention experiments with taxpayers. The results show that intervention behavior such as text message reminders can promote taxpayers to pay taxes voluntarily and on time, which has important policy implications for tax collection work. In the Finance Salon, Professor Yonghong Zhou commented on the research. Professor Adrian Cheung, Assistant Professor Lamont Yu and students present all raised questions and discussed with Professor Dai. The atmosphere was active and the participation was high, which made the Finance Salon a complete success.
