His current research projects involve the design and evaluation of tax policies to increase the rate of home ownership for low-income and minority households, a study of the impact of property taxes on the mobility of elderly homeowners, and the measurement of fiscal disparities in selected U.S. metropolitan areas. He is also advising the government of South Africa on the design of grants for the financing of education and on the fiscal reform of local governments.
