The project consists of three articles:
The first article, “Effectiveness of the Anti-Money Laundering Reporting System – Evidence from Real Estate Agencies in Norway,” evaluates the completeness and accuracy of SARs filed by Norwegian real estate agencies.
The second article, “Hidden Ownership in Suspicious Transactions – Experimental Evidence on Anti-Money Laundering Reporting Priorities in Norway,” assesses whether hidden ownership structures receive sufficient attention relative to other pertinent red flags of money laundering.
The third article, “Impact of Anti-Money Laundering Enforcement on Suspicious Activity Reporting – Empirical Evidence from Real Estate Agencies in Norway,” examines the impact of regulatory enforcement measures, such as supervisory inspections and sanctions, on SAR filing behavior, and whether inspections lead to any spillover effects on geographically proximate or organizationally affiliated entities to assess the extent to which inspections lead to sector-wide improvements in reporting.
