The Center for Business and Economic Research at
the University of Tennessee will host a conference this October bringing
together world-class scholars in accountancy, economics, finance, law, and
related fields who share a common interest in the issues that arise from
efforts to tax economic activity in the presence of mobility. The growing
mobility of capital and labor confronts governments with increasing
challenges when relying on traditional tax sources such as personal and
corporate income, value-added, and other transaction taxes. Business and
individual mobility can encourage inter-jurisdictional competition as
governments use tax incentives, tax concessions, or gaps in administration
of multi-jurisdiction cartels to attract investments and jobs that do not
have the geographic limitations that were present just a few decades ago.
We have invited a unique panel of experts to discuss
the issues that unprecedented multi-jurisdictional mobility presents to
governments at all levels (preliminary program).
When: October 2nd - 3rd, 2008
The conference begins the morning of Thursday, October 2nd and concludes around noon Friday, October 3rd.
Where: The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Glocker Business Administration Building
