A dual intergenerational perspective on tax morale research characterised the FiFo visit by Tomomi Miyazaki, Professor of Public Finance at Kobe University and Bruegel Fellow. On the one hand, this enabled him to visit the long-standing ‘place of work’ of the renowned tax psychologist, FiFo Director and behavioural economist avant la lettre, Günter Schmölders. On the other hand, the discussion with the current FiFo team soon turned to the Japanese-German parallel of whether and to what extent tax morale is also influenced by intergenerational issues and perceived imbalances between young and old people. In this respect, research in both countries still has much to learn.
