Marius Ring

Marius Ring is a faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin and Yale University. His research focuses on public finance and household finance, with an emphasis on taxation and entrepreneurship. In recent work, he shows that wealth taxation can incentivize households to save more rather than less. Ring did his PhD at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. In ongoing work, he studies the optimal decoupling of income tax accrual and payment, the effects of business regulation on entrepreneurship, the role of personal holding companies in causing tax regressivity, dynastic labor income insurance, and how differential taxation of safe versus risky assets (like stocks) affect households’ portfolio composition.
