Daniel G. Garrett researches issues surrounding public finance, corporate and personal income taxation, and financial regulation. His research often uses quasi-experimental variation to answer questions with relevance for designing efficient fiscal and regulatory policy. He is particularly interested in how public entities raise funds — primarily through issuing bonds or raising taxes — and how those mechanisms affect businesses, consumers, investors, and workers.
He is a graduate of Duke University with both an MA and PhD in Economics. He earned a BS in Economics at Ohio University in the Honors Tutorial College. Before grad school, he worked as a Tax Analysis Professional 1 in the Ohio Department of Taxation and as a Research Associate with the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.
