Tax Law & Policy
Along with our academic program, Penn Law and Philadelphia are ideal locations for the study of tax law and policy — at the epicenter of where tax law & policy is created (Washington, D.C.), often adjudicated (Delaware Court of the Chancery), and practiced (Wall Street).

Prof. Michael Knoll’s new study sheds light on the debate over U.S. competitiveness and tax policy
Do tax policies favorable to Toyota, Honda and other foreign-owned companies doing business in the United States contribute to or detract from American competitiveness? The answer depends on how you define competiveness, according to Michael S. Knoll, whose recent article on “The Connection between Competitiveness and International Taxation” in Tax Law Review helps clarify a hot-button policy debate.
