NICOLAS WERQUIN

Welcome! I am a Senior Economist at the Chicago Fed. I received my PhD from Yale University. My fields of research are public economics and macroeconomics. My work focuses on inequality and fiscal policy, and examines the optimal design and political economy of redistributive tax systems.

"Il n'y a presque pas d'affaires publiques qui ne naissent d'une taxe ou qui n'aboutissent à une taxe."

"There is scarcely any public matter that does not arise from a tax or end in one." 

Alexis de Tocqueville
