How do post-conflict institutional reforms shape the willingness of citizens to pay taxes a decade or more after the violence ends? The Bosnia and Herzegovina project links municipal-level variation in transitional-justice activity — lustration, vetting, truth-commission engagement — to subsequent tax compliance and revenue collection. The empirical strategy combines administrative tax records with project-team coding of transitional-justice intensity by municipality, accommodating the country’s split institutional structure.
