Welcome to the Research Resources page!
My goal here is to collect resources of various sorts that will help to build interest in the anthropology of tax. Thus, there are links to relevant volumes our network has created, as well as a list of past projects on various aspects of taxation led by social scientists and some interesting research institutes.
If you have anything you think should be included here, please contact me (Robin Smith) and I will add it here!
Thank you for visiting!
