美东部时间9月20日上午,合肥信息技术职业学院党委书记、院长王世杰参加哈佛大学博士后学术研讨班,聆听了Anders Jensen教授的报告“International Tax Policy influences in global economy”。
Dr.Anders Jensen research focuses on public economics and development economics.One set of projects in his work seeks to study the factors that shape the capacity to tax and the choice of tax policy over the long run of development.Ultimately,this line of work aims to shed light on how should,and can,a government go from raising 5-10 percent of GDP in taxes to around 35-40 percent,while encouraging development more broadly.Dr.Jensen second line of work consists in working with tax authorities and other government departments in developing countries.The starting point here is the specific structure,policies and issues of a given country.Through close collaborations and the use of large micro-datasets,these projects study what governments can do,given constrained capacity to tax,to incrementally improve tax administration,tax enforcement,tax policy,and tax morale.In this line of work,he is currently collaborating with governments in Ghana,Zambia,Liberia,and Brazil.
Dr.Jensen received his PhD in Economics from London School of Economics in 2016 and spent one year at NBER as a post-doctoral fellow before joining HKS.I am a Faculty Research Fellow at NBER,and an International Research Associate at IFS.
