This award could not have been more timely as I have just had the opportunity to present a paper based on my MPhil thesis at PAPERSS Seminars at UC3M this week.

By disentangling the influence of tax flight on tax preferences, my research ultimately aims to inform the design of policies to address offshore tax evasion and improve tax compliance.

These findings provide new insights into the political consequences of offshore tax evasion and avoidance, as well as the relationship between tax compliance and tax preferences.

I found that tax flight information significantly reduces individuals' willingness to pay taxes while positively affecting preferences for tax progressivity.

To test my argument empirically, I used experimental evidence from an information provision experiment conducted in the UK and quasi-experimental evidence from an unexpected event during survey design (UESD) based on Norwegian survey data.

My MPhil thesis examined the effect of tax flight information on tax preferences. I argued that tax flight information reduces individuals' willingness to pay taxes and their support for overall tax levels, while increasing their demand for tax progressivity.

I am also deeply grateful to my colleagues and friends at DPIR for their insightful comments and suggestions, and to the Center for Experimental Social Sciences for revising the survey experiment of my thesis. This work would not have been possible without the support of "la Caixa" Foundation.

I owe special thanks to my supervisor, Professor David Rueda, whose immense support and guidance were invaluable throughout every stage of this project.

I am so glad to have had the encouragment from my friends - @icuervo.bsky.social, @ivantubiosanles.bsky.social and others - which pushed me to apply to @politicsoxford.bsky.social for my PhD.
