Learning outcomes

The aim of this class is to discuss international income tax policy at a high but accessible level, combining institutional detail (with frequent but not exclusive reference to the U.S. rules) with economics-based analysis of the underlying issues.

The first two class days will be spent discussing topics that will mainly come from Shaviro, Fixing U.S. InternationalTaxation (2014). On the last two days students will offer short presentations based on the papers that they plan to write. Each presentation should run for 10 minutes, and will be followed by discussion. The papers themselves will not be due until a date (to be determined) after the class ends.

The students’ papers provide a vehicle for evaluating their gain of competencies.The lectures, feedback on the presentations, and feedback on the papers should enable the students to improve their knowledge and analytical skills with regard to the expected learning outcomes.

Other
DIBT focuses on high-quality academic education and internationally competitive research. It is aimed at the future elite of scholars and provides interdisciplinary training in taxation of enterprises‘ cross-border activities, drawing on and combining the core disciplines public finance, international tax law, and cross-border tax management. By then expanding tax training to non-traditional yet highly relevant disciplines such as economic psychology, history, political science, ethics, and legal philosophy as well as organizational behavior and decision making, a broadening of horizons and a more comprehensive approach to research questions is achieved. All courses are taught in English.
