Per Andersson
|
Per Andersson received his PhD from Lund University in 2017. His research on state capacity concerns the constitutional origins of tax capacity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is also interested in how political institutions mediate the impact of ideology on tax policy, in particular under what conditions left-wing parties tax the poor. Andersson also works on how the political representation of the poor is related to inequality, and how taxation affects cooperation in public goods games. His research has been published or accepted for publication in journals such as the Journal of Theoretical Politics, Comparative Politics, and Studies in Comparative International Development. Together with Thomas Brambor, Andersson has compiled the "Financing the State: Government Tax Revenue from 1800 to 2012" dataset. This dataset provides information on the size and composition of government tax revenue from 31 countries between 1800 and 2012. For access to the data, codebook, and more information and links to current working papers, see: https://www.perfandersson.com/. Andersson is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stockholm University. |
