Alessandro Di Battista Fellowship 2015-16

In 2002, the Italian Government, in collaboration with the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (CTPA) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), established the Alessandro Di Battista Fellowship. It is co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Finance in memory of the young Italian economist Alessandro Di Battista, who came from that Ministry to work on tax analysis at the OECD and prematurely passed away in 2001. The main objective of the Di Battista Fellowship is to allow a young Italian economist to be on loan from his/her current employer to the OECD to conduct economic analysis of tax policy and acquire experience at the CTPA in Paris for a total period of 12 months. This position is financed by the Italian Ministry of Finance, allowing the retained candidate to receive a supplement of 3,000€ per month to the regular salary provided by the candidate’s home organisation, in recognition of the additional costs involved.
