Nicola Sartori - Böcker

In Global Perspectives on Income Taxation Law, Reuven Avi-Yonah, Nicola Sartori, and Omri Marian cover basic, corporate and international tax law from a comparative perspective. The book both supplements readings in US tax law courses and serves as a textbook for a comparative tax law class. The book starts with a theoretical analysis of the field of comparative tax law. It then follows the usual order of topics covered in a basic tax course as taught in most U.S. law schools, and for each topic, the authors highlight possible alternatives or policy choices. The authors frequently consider the U.S. approach as a benchmark, comparing it with approaches used in other countries which form an interesting contrast, or a telling similarity. They consider the multiple purposes of studying comparative tax law: helping to advance successful tax reforms, cultural understanding, political values, legal harmonization, and a better understanding of domestic tax laws.

This proceeding volume will contain a collection of peer-reviewed articles arising from the Data Research Camp 2022. The workshop took place on July 12–15, 2022, at the Venice International University, in the venetian island of San Servolo. The Data Research Camp has been a stimulating experience bringing together 28 early-career researchers in statistics and seven international professors with the common task of developing novel statistical methods for complex brain imaging data. The workshop was motivated by the recent advancements in miniaturized fluorescence microscopy that have made it possible to collect complex data on neuronal responses to stimuli in awake behaving animals. Several ongoing challenges are related to this novel technology including the deconvolution of the temporal signals to extract the spike trains from the noisy calcium data, the estimation of neuronal activation intensity distribution, the spatio-temporal dependence or covariate effect estimation, among others.
