A STATE-LEVEL RESPONSE TO INEFFECTIVE FEDERAL PLACE-BASED INVESTMENT TAX INCENTIVES |
62 Boston College Law Review 1969 (June, 2021) |
Using tax expenditures, the federal government can deploy economic incentives to alter our choices in the service of public policy goals.

State governments, however, may not... |

CLAIM DURABILITY AND BANKRUPTCY'S TORT PROBLEM |
38 Yale Journal on Regulation 766 (Summer, 2021) |
Bankruptcy has a tort problem.

For this reason, many scholars have advocated changing repayment... |

A series of studies have identified a persistent feature of our consumer bankruptcy system: a disproportionate number of African American debtors choose to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 7. This would not be a problem if other attributes of African American debtors meant that Chapter 13 was actually the better choice. But for reasons... |

DYNAMIC PROPERTY TAXES AND RACIAL GENTRIFICATION |
96 Notre Dame Law Review 1517 (March, 2021) |

MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR: HOW THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT FORTIFIED THE GREAT WEALTH DIVIDE |

POLITICAL JUSTICE AND TAX POLICY: THE SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION CASE |
8 Texas A&M Law Review 271 (Winter, 2021) |
In addition to valuing whether a tax policy is equitable, efficient, and administrable, I argue we should ask if a tax policy is politically just. Others have made a similar case for valuing political justice as democracy in implementing just tax policy. I join that call and highlight why it matters in one arena--tax exemption. I also further that... |
