Is the global tax agenda about raising revenues, reducing inequalities or better regulation? My comments on the OECD / G20 tax process link.medium.com/rKFUOBBe2lb

A handy summary of a landmark study by David Card on the effect of the #minimumwage which upturned the way we see the role of the minimum wage 👇 The co-author of that study was the late Alan Krueger, a fantastic researcher but also a top policy aide. An example for many of us.
Replying to @NobelPrize
In one example David Card – awarded the 2021 prize in economic sciences – and Alan Krueger (now deceased) used a natural experiment to investigate how increased minimum wages affect employment. #NobelPrize

2009 (G20 declaring « end of tax havens »), 2015 (BEPS agreement, agressive tax planning « fixed »), 2021 (TBC agreement re digitalisation & minimum tax floor). Every 6y the OECD claims « historic » agreement.
