Forskning & prosjekt
Prosjekter
This project utilizes rich Norwegian administrative micro data and innovative methods to analyze behavioral responses to taxes in various settings.
The main goal of this project is bringing businesses and individuals together and investigating how the ties between individuals and firms could potentially affect behavioral responses to taxes.
There is growing concern about the practicality of taxing capital in a globalized world. Half of the world's foreign direct investments are routed through offshore tax havens.
