Jesse Drucker’s 2010 investigation exposed how Google avoided billions of dollars of income taxes around the world by routing profits through Ireland and the Netherlands into a Bermuda mailbox. The article moved jargon like the “Double Irish” into the public debate. He has since revealed similar offshore strategies used by other companies, including Pepsi, Crocs, Zara, Merck, and Abbott Laboratories.
Drucker joins the Paris School of Economics to discuss his nearly 20 years of tracking how multinational profits wind up offshore; how he built his investigations; the corporate and government fallout, and what has changed. He will be joined by Anastasios Elemes (ESSEC Business School), who studies the same questions with large samples of firms, including the Big 4 networks.
