David Burgherr

I am a PhD Student in Economics at the University of Zurich. I am also a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Analysis of Taxation, a Visiting Fellow at the LSE International Inequalities Institute, and affiliated with the CAGE Research Centre at the University of Warwick.

I study issues of taxation, inequality, and pension policy, typically involving the analysis of large administrative datasets. My research has been recognized by the International Institute of Public Finance with the IIPF Young Economists Award and covered in leading media outlets including the BBC, Bloomberg, The Economist, Financial Times, Guardian, The Times, and Washington Post.

More information about my research and me is available in my CV.
