Tax Law and Public Finance Workshop
Tuesdays, 3:30pm-5:30pm in Hotung International Building H2001
This workshop introduces students to current research in tax policy and gives them an opportunity to develop skills in reading and critiquing contemporary legal and economic scholarship.
Each week, the workshop hosts a tax scholar, public finance economist, or other expert presenting a working paper on issues of tax law, public finance, and related fields. The workshop is organized and led by Professors Emily Satterthwaite and Dayanand Manoli.
