After completing a Master's degree in Economic and Social Studies at Paris 1, I have the opportunity to continue my research on tax expenditures related to income tax. This research was initiated during my Master's thesis and will be pursued in the context of a Ph.D. at Paris 8 under the supervision of C. Carbonnier and M. Zemmour, funded by COFRA at the Conseil des prélèvements obligatoires. The main objective of my thesis is to dynamically analyze the evolution of the social and economic profile of beneficiaries of these deviations from the tax norm, in order to compare them with public policy objectives.
