Economic considerations have an important influence on the outcomes of two-party bargaining situations which are subject to enforcement by law. Drs. Reiganum and Wilde seek to extend their earlier work under NSF support, which focused on the conditions that engender income tax compliance, to a variety of problems involving bargaining situations in the areas of tax compliance, plea bargaining, and regulatory compliance. They make a series of different assumptions concerning human behavior and then examine and compare the outcomes of the situations which follow from these different assumptions as well as the degree to which these outcomes can be predicted. The models they formulate to study these problems use analytic techniques from economic theory and the theory of incomplete information. The research of Drs. Reiganum and Wilde addresses several fundamental questions regarding compliance in the face of asymmetric information: To what extent does prosecutorial discretion affect bargaining between prosecutors (as agents of society) and defendants over reduced sentences in exchange for guilty pleas? How does uncertainty on the part of taxpayers affect their compliance behavior, and how does the incorporation of third-party "expert advisors" affect compliance and Internal Revenue Service auditing? How does a firm undertaking toxicity testing decide whether or not to apply to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for permission to manufacture the new chemical and how, in turn, does the EPA choose to accept the firm's application or, alternatively, to conduct a costly audit of the firm's test results? The rigorous theoretical analysis of Drs. Reiganum and Wilde promises to further illuminate the causes and underlying dynamics of compliance and thus is of substantial scientific significance.

经济因素对结果有重要影响， 两方谈判的情况，这是受强制执行， 依法 Reiganum和Wilde博士试图在 NSF的支持，重点是产生所得税的条件 遵守，以各种问题，涉及讨价还价的情况下， 税务合规、辩诉交易和监管领域 合规 他们提出了一系列不同的假设， 人的行为，然后检查和比较的结果， 这些不同的假设以及 这些结果可以预测的程度。 模特们， 从经济学的角度，运用分析方法， 理论和不完全信息理论。 Reiganum和Wilde博士的研究解决了几个基本问题。 在信息不对称的情况下的遵约问题： 起诉裁量权在多大程度上影响了 检察官（作为社会代理人）和被告过度减少 用认罪来换取判决 不确定性如何 对纳税人的一部分影响他们的遵守行为，以及如何 纳入第三方“专家顾问”影响遵守 和国税局的审计 一个公司如何 毒性测试决定是否适用于环境 美国环保署（EPA）批准生产新化学品 环保署又是如何选择接受该公司的申请的 或者，对公司的测试进行昂贵的审计， 结果如何？ Reiganum博士和Wilde博士严谨的理论分析 承诺进一步阐明的原因和潜在的动力， 因此，它具有重要的科学意义。
