Jacob Goldin is a Professor at Stanford Law School, where he conducts research at the intersection of tax law, behavioral economics, and public policy. His work addresses critical questions in tax policy design, judicial behavior, and the economic impacts of government programs.
Goldin's research interests center on tax policy, behavioral economics, and law and economics. He examines how individuals respond to tax incentives, the optimal design of tax systems, and the behavioral aspects of tax compliance. His work often combines rigorous empirical analysis with theoretical insights to inform tax policy debates. He has made significant contributions to understanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, child tax benefits, and the behavioral effects of tax salience.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on empirical analysis of tax policy impacts, particularly regarding child benefits, tax filing behavior, and the economic consequences of tax design choices. Goldin frequently employs experimental and quasi-experimental methods to provide causal evidence on policy questions, bridging the gap between theoretical tax design and real-world outcomes.
Goldin has been actively involved in legal proceedings as an expert, contributing to amicus briefs in significant tax cases including South Dakota v. Wayfair. His scholarly work has appeared in leading law and economics journals including the Yale Law Journal, American Law and Economics Review, and Journal of Public Economics.
As an advisor and collaborator, Goldin works with economists and legal scholars across institutions, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Tax Analysis. His research often addresses practical policy challenges while maintaining rigorous academic standards, making his work highly relevant to both academic and policy communities.
