He has published more than 100 articles on taxation, authored or edited several books, and is currently editor of the National Tax Journal. He was a visiting economist at the U.S. Treasury Office of Tax Analysis during the preparation of the reports that led to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, has served as a consultant in both the public and private sectors, and has been involved in tax reform projects in a wide range of countries.
