Hi! I’m Eashwar Nagaraj.

I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Florida's Fisher School of Accounting. I study information asymmetry in corporate regulation, with an emphasis on tax policymaking and enforcement. I also examine issues related to professional human capital. My research has been featured in [Boston Globe](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/28/opinion/social-studies-keep-your-ai-usage-yourself-female-role-models-politics-suspicious-activity-irs/), [Cato Institute](https://www.cato.org/search/category/study+research-briefs-economic-policy), [Marginal Revolution](https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/05/sunday-assorted-links-516.html#comments), and [National Affairs](https://www.nationalaffairs.com/blog/detail/findings-a-daily-roundup/national-treasure). I will be on the 2026-2027 academic job market.


Prior to joining the PhD program at Florida, I was a senior consultant within the transfer pricing practice at EY LLP from 2019-2021 working on international tax planning and compliance projects for clients in health care, manufacturing and information technology industries. I received a M.A. in Economics, a B.S. in Mathematics and Statistics and a B.A. in Economics from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. My predoctoral research experience includes a stint at the Parliament of India on worldwide taxation regimes, and field research experience in development and health economics at J-PAL.
