Non-compliant behavior: Context and possible political treatment

The present paper has two goals. The first is to sum up some analytical contributions to interpret normative non-compliance which put the focus on: a) government inefficiency; b) an informal or parallel order; c) the threshold of dishonesty; and d) a lack of synchronicity between motives (moral, ethical and legal) and incentives. The second is to outline new political strategies that could be useful to combat non-compliance, primarily in Latin America: nudges (interventions in the decision architecture), the think approach (internalize new social norms), and the challenge of building new collective identities.
