Justin Ross is a public finance economist specializing in state and local tax policy.
Ross's primary research interests include property tax-related issues such as assessment and zoning. His published works explore local governments' use and access to the property tax by examining how it affects the politics, fiscal capacity, land use regulation, and community decisions.
His projects include the study of school district income taxes--a relatively new phenomenon in local public finance, as well as property reassessments and their impact on property tax revenue. Ross also explores the relationship that tax amnesty programs have with state and local tax administration, and their resulting behavior responses.
