Public Economics lecture day: How can we design taxes to discourage harmful behaviour?

13th November 2020 15:00 - 15:50
Talk/Webinar

About this event

Each year early career economists at IFS deliver a day of public economics talks, aimed at A-level and undergraduate students who have an interest in economics or might want to pursue a career in public policy research. At each talk researchers address a key topic in economics that is important to public policy. As part of this year's Festival of Social Science, we will be live streaming a selection of topics from the series to be delivered as a day of online lectures. At this event, Rebekah Stroud will discuss sin taxes.
