Miroslav Palanský has brought the IIPF congress to Prague, CORPTAX researchers are presenting their latest findings

Our colleague Miroslav Palanský is among the main organizers of the International Institute of Public Finance Congress, which takes place in Prague this year. The largest (and for our project CORPTAX the most relevant) gathering of public finance economists will see many renowned economists coming to Prague from August 21-23, 2024.

As with all recent IIPF congresses, CORPTAX’s presence will be felt, and quite a few CORPTAX researchers will present their latest findings:

• Tomáš Boukal will present the paper “Will the Global Minimum Tax Reduce Profit Shifting?”, a joint work with Prof. Petr Janský, Niels Johannesen and Miroslav Palanský.

Prof. Petr Janský will present his paper with Javier Garcia-Bernardo and Gabriel Zucman “Did the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Reduce Profit Shifting by US Multinational Companies?” and his paperco-authored by Javier Garcia-Bernardo, Daniel Haberly, Miroslav Palanský and Valeria Secchini “The Indirect Costs of Corporate Tax Avoidance Exacerbate Cross-country Inequality”.

Prof. Petr Janský and Miroslav Palanský will also contribute to the rich program with two special sessions: 
1) together with the EU Tax Observatory, CORPTAX they organise “Administrative Tax Data for Research: Lessons from Company-Level Country-by-Country Reporting Data”.
2) with the support of DemoTrans and Prof. Janský as a moderator, our colleagues brought together leading experts on the global minimum tax from universities and international organisations in a session titled “Global Minimum Tax – An Imperfect Success Story?”.
