My research focuses on two work streams:
- the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the fiscal area — tax sovereignty, autonomy, transparency, resource reallocation and climate-related fiscal policy — and
- Innovation in business trends, covering a wide range of topics from intellectual-property taxation to environmental taxation and work mobility (anti-taxe avoidance rules)
In the next years, I envisage the field converging on a coherent fiscal-governance framework that links climate objectives, circular-economy incentives and internationally coordinated tax rules.
My forthcoming trio of papers advances knowledge on:
- Dispute-resolution mechanisms, OECD versus U.N.,
- Tax-anchored corporate-responsibility reporting, and
- R&D tax incentives within the U.S. and OECD Global Minimum taxes.
