Professor Deborah Geier

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee majority and minority staffs asked Professor Deborah A. Geier to participate, along with a select group of other tax law and public finance economics professors, in a two-day Academic Roundtable discussing fundamental tax reform on January 5th and 6th in Washington, DC. The roundtable discussions focused on Individual Taxation, Deferred Compensation and Tax-Exempt Organizations, Estate & Gift Taxation, Energy/Environmental Taxation, Business Taxation, and International Taxation. The discussions were wide-ranging and fruitful among the participants and the Senate Finance Committee staff. Professor Geier may be asked to continue conversations with Senate Finance Committee staff members as various tax reform possibilities are explored further.
