Biography
Professor Emily Satterthwaite is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law. Professor Satterthwaite’s specialty is the law of taxation, and her research sheds light on areas of the tax law in which tax choices and taxpayer compliance obligations may have regressive equity implications. She uses experimental, qualitative and quantitative empirical methods to study how the design of elective provisions in tax statutes and tax agency enforcement policies plays out “on the ground,” with a particular focus on entry-level entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals.
