GRADE-ing tax policy for sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Description

One of these global forces is tax policy – a subject that Dr Bernadette O’Hare of the School of Medicine investigates through the Government Revenue and Development Estimations (GRADE) team. O’Hare studies the global influences on government revenue in low- and middle-income countries and their subsequent impact on development and fundamental rights. She and Professor Stephen Hall of the University of Leicester lead the GRADE team, which models the relationship between government revenue and sustainable development. Her recent research investigates the effects of global tax policy and illegal financial flows on the progress of Sub-Saharan African countries toward sustainable development.
