ACCF Center for Policy Research
Distinguished Fellows
he ACCF Center for Policy Research inaugurated its Distinguished Fellows Program in 1994 to bring the tax, regulatory, and environmental policy research undertaken for the Center by some of the nation's leading scholars to the attention of policymakers and opinion shapers in the Congress, the administration, and the media. There is a continuing need in the public policy arena for academic research on capital formation issues to help clarify the economic impact of such policies and provide guidance for policymakers.
William M. Gentry, Professor of Economics at Williams College is the ACCF Center for Policy Research's Distinguished Fellow in Tax Policy for 2010. Gentry received his S.B. in Economics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University, also in economics. Prior to moving to Williams in 2003, he was a faculty member at Duke University and the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University. Professor Gentry's research focuses on various aspects of taxation. Currently, he serves on the Board of Directors of the National Tax Association and is the Co-editor of the National Tax Journal. He has served as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Treasury and on the staff of the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform.
