The only numbers I can find on this show 56% of males lie for small returns, and 52% lie for big returns - which I'd like to see explained. I can't find any numbers associated with business majors, children of divorce, or people for whom religions is important. How big is the effect? What is the standard error? What is the between the overlap between the 3 groups of liars? Access to the paper costs $36.
