Steven Davis studies the effect of taxes on work activity, the creation and loss of jobs, the employment impact of wage-setting rules, and other labor market issues.  He is a professor of international business and economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He previously taught at Brown University and MIT and served as a consultant and researcher at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. As a visiting scholar at AEI, Davis will study how tax differences in states and countries lead to differences in employment, household work, and leisure time.

In other work, Davis has coauthored a paper weighing the costs and benefits of the war in Iraq.
