Abstract
It is consensus in different fields of practical relevance that the introduction of taxes will—in one way or the other—affect the playing behavior of actors. However, it is not clear what the effects might really look like. Here, a game theoretic model is considered that concentrates on effects of relative or constant taxes on transferred monetary volume. For matrix games it is asked: How do taxes change the behavior of players and the expected transacted volume? Analyzing this basic research model clearly shows: One has to be careful in considering taxes as a powerful instrument to confine aggressive playing behavior. Taxes might encourage increased expected transfers.
