As a tax policy researcher, I speak publicly about issues that have economic and political implications. I make such comments with the hope of contributing to better policy and a better society. I am not compensated to adopt any policy position and I am not a member of any political party. In an effort of tranparency, here is a description of the sources of my funding.
