Max W. Risch
I am an Assistant Professor and BP Junior Faculty Chair at Carnegie Mellon University, Tepper School of Business.
My research addresses topics in public finance, tax and inequality using novel administrative datasets to analyze the relationship between public policies and the distribution of income. One strand of my research investigates how firm-worker relationships mediate responses to tax policy and how public policies influence the form of firm-worker relationships. Another strand of research analyzes the role of tax evasion and tax enforcement for real and measured income inequality.
I am also an Affiliate of the CESifo Research Network and the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility at the University of Chicago
