  • S4 Ep22: How to policymakers interpret different types of evidence?
    Jun 5 2024

  • S4 Ep21: How can LMICs collect more taxes?
    May 29 2024
    In both high- and low-income countries, taxes are the main source of government

Lucie Gadenne of Queen Mary University of London and the IFS tells Tim Phillips that one of these taxes may be less progressive, and one may be more progressive, than we expect.
