This is a study on the perception and, in particular, the misperception that people have of the marginal tax rate, and subsequently how this (mis)perception affects the willingness to work. For this purpose, a questionnaire is administered at two different times, with the first questionnaire including an experiment with four conditions. The effect of these different experimental conditions is measured with the administration of the second questionnaire. The conditions involve different ways of informing people about the marginal tax rate (including a condition with no information).
