Andrew Luis Granato
Incoming Assistant Professor of Law
The University of Texas at Austin
I am a legal economist and, starting this summer, I will be an Assistant Professor at Texas Law. I study tax, business associations, securities law, and insurance, with a focus on the use of corporate finance principles in such fields. One set of my projects explores the use of life insurance policies as high-end tax avoidance vehicles. My research has been cited in litigation by the Department of Justice Tax Division; in academic outlets like CLS Blue Sky Blog, Duke FinReg Blog, and JOTWELL; and in legal media like Tax Notes, Bloomberg Law, and The American Lawyer.
I am scheduled to receive my Ph.D. in Financial Economics from the Yale School of Management; I hold a J.D. from Yale Law School and B.A. in Economics from Stanford University. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a Senior Associate Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
