Mariana Alvarado is a PhD student at New York University, currently living in Lausanne.   Her PhD research focuses on how different sources of government revenue affect public attitudes and citizens' relation with the state. She uses experimental methods to study peoples’ perceptions of fairness in taxation and tax policy preferences from a comparative perspective as well as to explore the mechanisms through which non-tax revenues can engender feelings of engagement with the state.
