Recent trends in empirical tax and sustainability research

This course offers an integrated exploration of advanced topics in taxation and sustainability, focusing on their impact on firms’ tax and financial accounting disclosure, and other real corporate decisions. Through a blend of critical literature reviews and hands-on empirical exercises, the course delves into traditional topics like the effects of tax policy on investment and tax avoidance but also into emerging topics like climate-related research. As a thematic foundation, the course will expand on the role of taxation and tax accounting in influencing capital market outcomes and business decisions, such as accounting choices, tax avoidance strategies, investment, and payout decisions. The course will also focus on the application of empirical tools and databases critical to understanding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes, among others. Special attention will be given to the effects of tax and non-tax policies on corporate outcomes, enhancing understanding of how these factors integrate with broader sustainability issues in the business sphere.

As this course is offered as an hybrid course, the participation fee is reduced by 80 Euro.
