Tomorrow @uni_tue, a day about VAT in Africa! In our brown bag, @jackbrusco90 will talk about how VAT refunds distort capital allocation in 🇿🇦, followed by @miguel_almunia in the RSE with experimental evidence from 🇺🇬 on how enforcement shocks propagate through trade networks.

Historians, economists and law scholars discussed the complexities of achieving fair taxation, tax havens, and MNE behavior - A  great opportunity to discuss research through the lens of other disciplines! Many thanks to the organizers and all participants!

Yesterday I presented ongoing research on intra-firm cross-border interest flows and tax incentives (with @sgoldbach, @ArneNagengast and Georg Wamser) at ESHCC @erasmusuni Rotterdam in the interdisciplinary Workshop “The Netherlands a Tax Paradise?”

Este es en SERIO!!!!!! Plis, denme una mano con el RT!

[Jason Abaluck @Jabaluck]

You should have drawn the opposite conclusion. Even on a hotly contested issue like optimal tax rates, the most left wing and most right wing economists in the sample are projected to estimate values from 60% - 77%. That's remarkably uniform!

Thanks @surethsloane for an inspiring workshop!!

And thanks to all @RSIT_tue @trr_accounting and @wu_accounting participants!

[Research School of International Taxation @RSIT_tue]

Our PhD students were stoked to have @surethsloane over @uni_tue for an intense two-day immersion into business taxation. We had heated discussions on everything from how not to double-count MNE profits to how IRS resources affect the audit process of corporations. Thanks Caren!
