General

He received his B.A. degree from Princeton University in 1973 and a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1980. He has been at Michigan since 1987 and does research on taxation, with a focus on taxation of personal income. He is co-author with Jon Bakija of Taxing Ourselves: A Citizen's Guide to the Great Debate over Tax Reform [3] and is editor of Does Atlas Shrug? The Economic Consequences of Taxing the Rich.[4] He is currently the chair of the Economics department at the University of Michigan. Dr. Slemrod also serves as Director of the Office of Tax Policy Research, which is a research center at the University of Michigan on matters of tax policy.

In 2001, Slemrod shared an Ig Nobel Prize with Wojciech Kopczuk, of Columbia University, for a paper concluding that people find a way to postpone their deaths if that would qualify them for a lower rate on the inheritance tax.[5][6] In 2012, Slemrod was awarded the Daniel M. Holland Medal by the National Tax Association.[1]
