Early life and education
Zucman was born in Paris in 1986, and is the son of two French doctors. His mother is an immunology researcher while his father treats HIV patients.In interviews, Zucman describes the "traumatic political event of my youth", as being when Jean-Marie Le Pen reached the final rounds of the 2002 French presidential election, when Zucman was 15. In 2018, Zucman said of that event: "A lot of my political thinking since then has been focused on how we can avoid this disaster from happening again. So far, weâve failed".From 2005 to 2010, Zucman attended the Ãcole normale supérieure de Cachan, one of France's prestigious Grandes Ãcoles.WEB,weblink Curriculum vitae of Gabriel Zucman., Hereafter, he first earned his M.Sc. in economic policy analysis in 2008 and a PhD in economics in 2013, both from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) and the Paris School of Economics, for which he received the French Economic Association's award for best PhD dissertation in 2014.Career
After finishing his studies, Zucman worked for a year as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley) before accepting a position as assistant professor of economics at the London School of Economics (LSE) and the same position at UC Berkeley, being currently on leave from LSE. Moreover, Zucman has worked as Co-Director of the World Wealth and Income Database (WID), a database aiming at the provision of access to extensive data series on the world distribution of income and wealth, since 2015.The WID is managed jointly by Facundo Alvaredo, Tony Atkinson, Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, and Gabriel Zucman; see the website.Besides his research and teaching activities, Zucman has refereed for several economic journals, including the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Review of Economic Studies, Econometrica, and the Journal of Political Economy. He also coâfounded and acted as editorâinâchief for Regards croisés sur l'économie, a review aimed at exposing the French general public to academic research in economics.In 2019, the faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government voted to offer Zucman a tenured position in the department, but the president and provost of Harvard University blocked it.NEWS, Tankersley, Jim, Casselman, Ben, 2020, The Liberal Economists Behind the Wealth Tax Debate, en-US, The New York Times,weblink 0362-4331, Zucman was chosen to be the founding director of the EU Tax Observatory in June 2021.WEB, 2021-06-01, New European Tax Observatory to support fight against tax abuse through cutting-edge research,weblink European Commission, Brussels, Press release, In 2023, he was elected as a "professeur des universités" (tenured professor) in the department of economics at the Ecole normale supérieure and at the Paris School of Economics.WEB, Zucman, Gabriel, July 30, 2023, Zucman's personal webpage,weblinkResearch
Zucman is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on tax evasion, but has made contributions to the field of public economics more broadly.Much of Zucman's research is on issues of economic inequality. Zucman himself says, "a lot of my work is about trying to improve our measurement tools."NEWS, Gabriel Zucman, a controversial John Bates Clark medallist, The Economist,weblink 2023-05-11, 0013-0613, In August 2014 in Capital is Back, Zucman and French economist Thomas Piketty investigate the evolution of aggregate wealthâtoâincome ratios in the top eight developed economies, reaching back as far as 1700 in the case of the U.S., U.K., Germany, and France, and find that wealthâincome ratios have risen from about 200â300% in 1970 to 400â600% in 2010, levels unknown since the 18th and 19th centuries. Most of the change can be explained by the long-run recovery of asset prices, the slowdown of productivity, and population growth.JOURNAL, 10.1093/qje/qju018, Capital is Back: Wealth-Income Ratios in Rich Countries 1700â2010, The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 129, 3, 1255â1310, 2014, Piketty, Thomas, Zucman, Gabriel, free, Zucman has co-written several papers with Thomas Piketty.A second focus is his research on tax havens. In 2015 in his book,(The Hidden Wealth of Nations: The Scourge of Tax Havens|The Hidden Wealth of Nations), Zucman uses the systematic anomalies in international investment positions to show that the net foreign asset positions of rich countries are generally underestimated because they don't capture most of the assets held by households in offshore tax havens. Based on his calculations, he finds about 8% of the global financial wealth of households, or $7.6 trillion, to be held in tax havens, threeâquarters of which go undeclared.JOURNAL, 10.1093/qje/qjt012, The Missing Wealth of Nations: Are Europe and the U.S. Net Debtors or net Creditors?, The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 128, 3, 1321â1364, 2013, Zucman, Gabriel, 10.1093/qje/qjt012, free, In 2017â18, Zucman focused on the scale of multinational tax avoidance by base erosion and profit shifting ("BEPS") tools in the largest corporate tax havens. Zucman believes Ireland, recognised as a major corporate tax haven, is still materially underestimated by Orbisâdatabase studies due to technical factors (even though these studies rank Ireland as the 5th largest global corporate Conduit OFC).WEB,weblink Why high-tax locations let tax havens flourish, November 2017, Gabriel Zucman, Thomas Tørsløv, Ludvig Wier, Research published by Zucman, Tørsløv and Wier in June 2018, showed that Ireland is the largest corporate tax haven in the world, even larger than the entire Caribbean corporate tax haven system.WEB,weblink The Missing Profits of Nations, Gabriel Zucman, National Bureau of Economic Research, Thomas Tørsløv, Ludvig Wier, 8 June 2018, WEB,weblink Zucman:Corporations Push Profits Into Corporate Tax Havens as Countries Struggle in Pursuit, Gabrial Zucman Study Says, Such profit shifting leads to a total annual revenue loss of $200 billion globally, Wall Street Journal, 10 June 2018, WEB,weblink Ireland is the world's biggest corporate 'tax haven', say academics, New Gabriel Zucman study claims State shelters more multinational profits than the entire Caribbean, Irish Times, 13 June 2018, This research also showed that tax disputes between highâtax jurisdictions and corporate tax havens are extremely rare, and that tax disputes really only occur between highâtax jurisdictions.WEB, The Policy Failure of HighâTax Countries, 44â49,weblink National Bureau of Economic Research, Working Papers, Gabriel Zucman, Thomas Torslov, Ludvig Wier, June 2018, Along with James R. Hines Jr. and Dhammika Dharmapala, Gabriel Zucman is noted as a leader in the study of tax havens,WEB,weblink Banks in Tax Havens: First Evidence based on CountryâbyâCountry Reporting, 50, Vincent Bouvatier, Gunther Capelle-Blancard, Anne-Laure Delatte, Figure D: Tax Haven Literature Review: A Typology, EU Commission, July 2017, and his papers are amongst the most cited research on tax havens. {{As of | October 2018}}, Zucman ranks 1st out of "19,829 economists whose first publication of any kind is 10 or fewer years ago", on the IDEAS/RePEc St Louis Reserve database of papers by global economists.WEB,weblink Top Young Economists, as of October 2018, Federal Reserve of St. Louis, The rankings: Top 200 Economists (10 years or less) Taken from a pool of 19829 economists whose first publication of any kind is 10 or fewer years ago. These rankings consider only the youngest economists registered with RePEc. Young is defined by the year of the first publication in any form. Note that the shorter the time span considered, the more likely the ranking is going to be spurious., Much of Zucman's other research deals with the effect of the G20's crackdown on tax havens and corporate tax havens, crossâborder taxation and multinational profit shifting, the longâterm relationship between wealth and inheritance, and the trajectory of wealth inequality in the United States. Zucman is frequently quoted in the leading global news media.WEB,weblink The desperate inequality behind global tax dodging, The Guardian, Gabriel Zucman, 8 November 2017, WEB,weblink Gabriel Zucman on tax evasion and inequality, Financial Times, 4 August 2017, Gabriel Zucman,{{anchor|Zucman-Tørsløv-Wier 2018 list}}{{anchor|Tørsløv-Wier-Zucman 2018 list}}Tørsløv-Wier-Zucman 2018 list
{{see also|Tax havens#Tax haven lists}}The only tax havens from the Tørsløv-Wier-Zucman list that have ever appeared on an OECD list of tax havens, are some Caribbean locations, namely The British Virgin Islands (but not the Cayman Islands). Nine of the top ten locations from the Tørsløv-Wier-Zucman list, match the top ten on the James R. Hines 2010 list (assuming that Zucman's "Caribbean" is mostly two locations, The Cayman Islands and The British Virgin Islands; Zucman lists Bermuda separately).{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:left"Personal
Zucman is married to the French economist Claire Montialoux, whom he met in 2006.In May 2020, Zucman criticized White House Advisor Kevin Hassett's usage of the term "human capital stock", claiming it "only makes sense in the context of slave societies". Twitter users discovered that Zucman himself used the term in his own academic work, which has since been revised.TWEET, 1266047294677282816, DeAngelisCorey, Berkeley professor Gabriel Zucman..., 28 May 2020,Bibliography
