Arun Advani
Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Taxation (CenTax)
Associate Professor in the Economics Department at the University of Warwick
I am Director of the Centre for the Analysis of Taxation (CenTax) and an Associate Professor in the Economics Department at the University of Warwick. I am also a Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and have affiliations with the International Inequalities Institute, the CAGE Research Centre, CESifo, and the IZA. I am also an Associate Editor at Fiscal Studies, and on the Editorial Board of the Economics Observatory.
I study issues of inequality, tax compliance, and tax design, with a focus on those with high incomes or wealth. I am a Commissioner at the Wealth Tax Commission. I also work on issues of environmental taxation, economic development, migration, and tax in low- and middle-income countries.
I am co-chair of the Discover Economics campaign, aiming to increase the diversity of people who study and work in economics. From 2020-22 (creation to abolition) I was a member of the Department for Education Skills and Productivity Board.

Dr Andy Summers
Associate Professor of Law
LSE Law School
My research focuses on the evaluation and design of tax policies, particularly those affecting top earners and High Net Wealth Individuals (HNWIs). I combine technical expertise in tax law with quantitative methods and data science, via collaborations with economists and other social scientists. I am Director of the Centre for Analysis of Taxation (CenTax), a research centre dedicated to improving public understanding of tax and helping to design a better tax system, through research that is academically rigorous and relevant to policymakers and the public.
Before joining LSE in 2014, I studied Law as an undergraduate at Cambridge (2005-08) and as a postgraduate at Oxford (2009-10). I completed my doctorate at Corpus Christi College Oxford, where I also taught as a College Lecturer (2011-14). My PhD research focused on the assessment of damages in private law, and theories of loss and causation. In 2016, I got married and took my wife’s name (…we flipped a coin). Consequently, my publications prior to 2016 are listed under my previous name, Andrew Dyson.
