Antoine’s research is focused on how elements of family taxation might impede on gender equality. The United States, France or Germany have tax systems that consider the unit of taxation to be the family (France) or married couple (US, Germany). Canada’s tax system is individual but partially considers family income, notably through transfers to families (such as the Canada Child Benefit or the GST tax credit) which are reduced as family income rises, and income splitting measures, which allow high earning individuals to transfer some of their income and tax burden to their spouse. His research project will look specifically at these components of the tax system and assess whether they pose a risk to gender equality by making women more vulnerable economically, through lower savings, weaker workforce attachment and barriers to family reformation.
Prior to joining the school, Antoine worked as a senior research associate at Université de Sherbrooke’s Research Chair on Taxation and Public Finance. He holds a B.Sc. in economics from Université du Québec à Montréal and a M.Sc. in public administration from École nationale d’administration publique, where he also volunteers as a member of the board of directors. Antoine’s research is supported by the Government of Canada’s Vanier Scholarship, the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et Culture and by the Research Chair in Taxation and Public Finance at Sherbrooke.
