Environment
PSE – Paris School of Economics is a private, not-for-profit research foundation. PSE develops economic research of the highest international standard and brings together a community of 140 researchers and around 200 doctoral students. It brings together universities and business schools with the aim of fostering exchanges between economics and other social sciences, disseminating its work to a wide audience and developing multiple partnerships with public institutions and private organizations. The EU Tax Observatory (https://www.taxobservatory.eu/), PSE’s in-house laboratory, is dedicated to excellent research on tax issues, with a particular focus on corporate tax evasion and avoidance. EU Tax Observatory is directed by Professor Gabriel Zucman and is housed at the Paris School of Economics.
