Broadly speaking, my research agenda focuses on tax policy and political economy. My publications cover topics, ranging from public administration to foreign investment. More specifically, I am working on several papers right now related to tax morale. My general findings are that people hold a favorable opinion of tax authorities and people also prefer progressive rate tax structures.
