CBS LAW

Yvette Lind is assistant professor in tax law at Copenhagen Business School (2019- ). She is an alumni at the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance (Germany) where she has been a guest researcher in 2018 as well as a scholarship holder in 2019. In addition to this she has been a guest researcher at the IBFD - International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (the Netherlands) in 2011, 2012 and 2015, the School of Business and Social Sciences at Aarhus University (Denmark), the Faculty of Law at Copenhagen University (Denmark) and is also a regular guest researcher and teacher at the Faculty of Law at Lund University (Sweden).

Her editorial responsibilities include the role as associate editor at the Nordic Journal on Law and Society (2020-2022) in addition to acting as a guest editor for other research journals, such as Florida Tax Review and the Nordic Tax Journal. Member of the review board for the Journal of Legal Research Methodology.

She defended her doctoral thesis (“Crossing a Border” published by Jure) on taxation and social security contributions linked to cross-border working at Umeå University (Sweden) in 2017 and subsequently received a post-doc from the Swedish TOR/Skattenytt foundation (2017-2019). The post-doc project focused on the relationship between taxation and state aid law in an international setting, e.g. state aid investigations linked to multinational corporations and the design and application of environmental taxes. Before joining CBS, she was Assistant professor at University College of Gävle (Sweden) between 2017-2019. 

At the moment, she explores the effects of increased taxpayer mobility with reference to the allocation of not only taxation and access to (social) welfare benefits but also political rights and benefits such as voting privileges. As a result, the project is highly influenced by not only legal frameworks traditionally linked to taxation and social insurance law but also constitutional law and human rights law.
