The Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance is a legal and financial research institute of the Max Planck Society in Munich .
history
The Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance started its work as a separate research institute on January 1, 2011. It goes back to the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law , which was divided into the MPI for Intellectual Property and Competition Law and this institute in 2011 . In 2002, what was then the MPI for Foreign and International Patent, Copyright and Competition Law was expanded to include a department for accounting and taxes under the direction of Wolfgang Schön . In 2009 another department for finance was added under Kai A. Konrad. With the re-establishment, these departments were separated from the department for intellectual property and competition law and transferred to a separate institute. However, this did not involve any changes in the research areas, in the staff or in the location in Munich. The founding directors are Kai A. Konrad ( finance ) and Wolfgang Schön ( corporate and tax law ), who also currently lead the institute.
Tasks and research areas
The institute is part of the Max Planck Society, which is mainly financed by public funds. The main research focus is on topics of national and international taxation from a legal and economic perspective.
The institute consists of two equally sized departments, each headed by a director. The legal area works on a wide range of research topics in corporate and tax law, the economic area on research issues from finance and fiscal policy. There is a close cooperation with the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich.
The institute is not a teaching institution, but is committed to basic research, which is organized in medium and long-term projects. The institute offers doctoral and postdoc positions as well as opportunities for short and long-term research stays. It has a large library and organizes international and interdisciplinary conferences, workshops, seminars and lecture series.
