According to Sarah Hammer, executive director at The Wharton School, the U.S. is on the cusp of a digital finance revolution – but is losing its competitive advantage. In her piece “America at a Crossroads: Securing Global Digital Asset Leadership,” Professor Hammer outlines how the U.S. is losing ground to jurisdictions like the EU, Singapore, and the UAE – all of which are moving ahead with regulatory clarity and attracting innovation. From #blockchain and #stablecoin adoption to venture capital flows, the future of finance is rapidly approaching. Professor Hammer argues the U.S. must respond with a comprehensive, forward-looking regulatory framework.

Dan Garrett, assistant professor of finance at The Wharton School joined the Ripple Effect to discuss his ground-breaking research on international taxes and how they affect U.S. companies abroad. Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eJ7hJ9xM Dive deeper into Professor Garrett's research on the Discoveries blog: https://lnkd.in/ejy6d7pK #Taxes #BusinessTax #InternationalBusiness #WhartonFinance
When foreign effective tax rates are significantly lower than those in the U.S., it makes international expansion relatively cheaper, causing U.S. firms to shift jobs overseas. The Wharton School professor Dan Garrett's research highlights this hidden "substitution effect," finding that such tax rate gaps directly lead to reduced domestic employment. The solution? Garrett's work suggests that closing the gap – making foreign and domestic tax rates more aligned –could help retain jobs in the U.S. and strengthen the local labor market.
