Taxation : An Interdisciplinary Approach to Research

Taxation involves complex questions of policy, law, and practice. This book offers an innovative introduction to tax research by combining commentary on disciplinary-based and interdisciplinary approaches. Its objective is to guide and encourage researchers to produce taxation research that is both rigorous and relevant. It comments upon how disciplinary-based approaches to tax research have developed in Law, Economics, Accounting, Political Science, and Social Policy. Its authors then go on to introduce an interdisciplinary research approach to taxation research.

Written by a group of international experts, this book will be essential reading for new researchers in the tax field, including Ph.D. students; for existing researchers wishing to broaden their understanding of taxation; for policymakers wanting to gauge where the leading edge of current tax research lies; and for tax practitioners interested in scholarly contributions to their field of practice.
