Dr. Berg's research focuses on public and welfare economics, combining theoretical and empirical approaches to study tax policy. His current research agendas include taxation of business income (particularly for shareholders) and the application of fairness principles to tax policy design. He has published extensively on optimal taxation frameworks, horizontal equity in tax systems, and the relationship between inequality measurement and tax policy design.
His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on the theoretical foundations of tax policy with practical applications, particularly examining how tax systems can balance efficiency and equity considerations. His work often bridges philosophical questions about fairness with rigorous economic analysis.
Dr. Berg actively contributes to policy discussions through publications in major outlets including the Financial Times and Dagens Næringsliv, with expertise spanning wealth taxation, VAT policy, and international tax coordination. He is a regular participant in major public economics conferences including CESifo and the International Institute of Public Finance.
As a member of the scientific committee for the International Institute of Public Finance, Dr. Berg plays an active role in shaping the discourse around global tax policy. His commentary frequently addresses contemporary challenges in tax policy including responses to geopolitical tensions and the design of tax systems that maintain fairness while supporting economic growth.
