This paper studies the evasion of TV license fees in Austria. We exploit border differentials
to identify the effect of fees on evasion. Comparing municipalities at the low- and high-fee side
of state borders reveals that higher fees trigger significantly more evasion. The central estimate
from a spatial regression discontinuity design indicates that a one percent increase in fees raises
the evasion rate by 0.3 percentage points. The positive effect of fees on evasion is confirmed in
different parametric and non-parametric approaches and survives several robustness checks.
