Research
My interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Business and Economics examines how taxes shape the decisions of firms and individuals in a globalized economy. Cross-border mobility of capital and people constrains countries' ability to tax and creates opportunities for tax evasion and avoidance — prompting governments to respond with far-reaching countermeasures. Whether these measures achieve their goals is the central question of my work: I evaluate the intended and unintended consequences of anti-tax avoidance and evasion measures.
My work has been published in the Journal of Public Economics and the Journal of Accounting Research, amongst others.
