İrem Güçeri is Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government and Governing Body Fellow of St Antony’s College.

In her research, İrem studies the ways in which government policies can promote growth and productivity, as well as issues surrounding efficient policymaking in the field of taxation. Specific projects include: (i) modelling multinational corporations’ tax avoidance decisions; (ii) the effects of international tax reform on profit-shifting and investment; (iii) the relationship between tax policy, firms’ financing frictions and innovation; and (iv) the effects of dividend taxation. To answer these research questions, İrem uses structural and reduced-form empirical methods on large administrative datasets from a variety of high-income and middle-income countries.
