I received my PhD in Accounting from York University, my LLM in Tax Law from Queen's University, my MAcc in Taxation from Brock University, and my BAcc in Accounting from Brock University. I am a Canadian CPA.
I use primarily surveys and experiments to understand decisions individuals can make related to income taxes (such as tax reporting compliance decisions, whistleblowing decisions to tax authorities, and savings in tax-advantaged accounts like RRSPs, TFSAs, and FHSAs). This area of research is known as behavioural tax due to its behavioural methodologies (surveys and experiments).
In the past, using archival data (tax court records), I investigated several psychological phenomena that could have influenced judges at tax courts.
I am starting projects about consumers' willingness to pay for carbon tax and the extent to which investors use corporate tax information. I am also learning how to do qualitative tax research and will be interviewing tax professionals about how they develop interpersonal trust with their clients.
I am always looking for enthusiastic and ambitious graduate students who wish to do tax research, especially behavioural tax research.
