 My story of change. Understanding the origins of fiscal states and taxation in particular matter for at least three reasons. The first one is that this is policy relevant. It's part of sustainable development goals. Being able to tax income and to implement systems where taxation is progressive, this matters a lot if we want to fund public services and infrastructure. Taxation itself may improve the quality of governance of a country. In the face of taxation, citizens will become more engaged in public processes. They will demand in particular greater accountability on the part of the state and of the government. We have done a series of activities that have engaged us with policy makers. In particular, colleagues working in revenue authorities across the Global South, colleagues working in international institutions. We had a sense that increasingly policy makers engaging with us could see a little bit more that taxation is something that doesn't happen overnight. You have to have a set of conditions there in place to make it more likely. My story of change is about the ability to communicate my research, share it with a much broader audience that I would have otherwise been able to reach. The ultimate objective for us was not only to have an impact on the academic debate, but to reach the greatest number possible of policy makers.
