APA(I):Equity in the Australian tax and transfer system
Scholarship Description
The successful applicant will develop a PhD project that explores an aspect, or a number of related aspects, of tax and transfer policies as they impact on individuals or families in the Australian and/or international context. This could include a wide range of policy issues, including cash transfers, in-kind support, and direct or indirect taxation as experienced by individuals and families. The term ‘equity’ can be broadly interpreted, with respect to vertical or horizontal equity, for example gender equity, equity between children or between different family configurations, or equity in a life-cycle perspective. There will be scope to refine and develop the topic in accordance with the successful applicant’s interests and disciplinary expertise, in consultation with Prof Peter Whiteford and Gerry Redmond, Chief investigators in the ARC project: Supporting families: Horizontal & vertical equity in the Australian tax-benefit system in historical and comparative perspectives.
