Description
This opportunity supports research on the economic impacts of business tax systems and reforms, including effects on investment, employment, and income distribution. The aim is to inform policy debates at both national and international levels by examining how business taxation changes—such as recent legislative reforms—affect firms, workers, and consumers. Projects may address topics like the incidence of business taxation, labor market frictions, firm ownership, tax effects on consumer prices, inequality, financing decisions, private equity, profit shifting, and the influence of tax policy on innovation and R&D.
