Economics of Tax Policy
The objective of the course is to introduce students to the state of the art research on the economics of taxation.
The class will be a mix of theory and empirical applications. It will also include a short refresher of the standard empirical approaches used in applied microeconomics (IV, diff-in-diff, regression discontinuity and kink designs, kinks and notches).
The class is planned for July 24-26th, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal, 12 hours of class time altogether; this is roughly equivalent to half-a-semester of a graduate PhD class that I teach at Columbia. It assumes graduate level preparation in microeconomics and econometrics and is intended for PhD students.
Depending on time constraints/the number of students/interest, there will be an option of one-on-one meetings with interested students to talk about their research ideas related to public economics.
