In end September, Risa Pavia defended her doctoral thesis: « Corporate Taxation in Portugal: Evasion, Incentives, and the Shadow Economy ». She looked at two elements of firm behavior with respect to taxation – efforts to reduce tax liability, and responses to incentives in the tax code – thus allowing us to better understand our tax system. Congratulations!
