Overview
What you will study
While tax theory can be straightforward, the challenge is to adapt basic principles to the complex and ever-changing variety of domestic and international economic, political, social, and historical constraints. Oftentimes, that's easier said than done.
The Comparative Tax Policy and Administration program offered by Harvard University provides you with the insights and tools to deal with this complex dynamic.
Led by Faculty Chair Jay Rosengard, this on-campus program explores which elements of taxation work best in addressing particular challenges. The curriculum stresses the importance of context and capacity in tax policy and administration rather than a unitary “best practice” model of taxation.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Taxation and national development strategies, sub-national fiscal challenges, and intergovernmental fiscal relations
- Taxation and globalization
- Comparative tax policy and administration, as well as the design and assessment of tax systems
- Tax reform and alternative strategies for improving tax systems
- The political economy of taxation
- Taxation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
