    BIP#20: "Journée héritages et transmissions avec André Masson"
    15 Mar
    15 Mar
    ...

    Depuis plus de 40 années, André Masson, directeur de recherches au CNRS et directeur d’études à l’EHESS, étudie les transmissions au-delà de toutes les frontières disciplinaires, et sous toutes leurs facettes : l’histoire des héritages, leurs fondations microéconomiques (altruisme, joy of giving, motifs d’échange), leurs implications sociétales, ainsi que leurs fondations normatives, les arguments mobilisés, au cours des siècles, en vue de justifier une taxation des héritages, à des niveaux allant de la « taxation zéro » à la taxation confiscatoire.
    André Masson visitera la Chaire Hoover le vendredi 15 mars 2024 et participera à un double évènement autour de ses récents ouvrages – publiés et en cours de rédaction – portant sur les héritages et les transmissions.

    Journée organisée par Pietro Intropi et Grégory Ponthière.

    13.00-14.00 : Présentation de l’ouvrage Chronique d’un impôt sur l’héritage en perdition (paru aux Presses Universitaires de France 2023).
    Par André Masson (CNRS – EHESS – PSE)

    14.00-14.15 : Pause

    14.15-16.30 : Séminaire Book in Progress #20 : 50 Questions sur l’héritage

    14.15-15.00 : Taxer les transmissions ou taxer les fortunes courantes ?
    Présenté par André Masson. Discussion par Antoine Germain (UCLouvain – CORE).

    15.00-15.45 : Faut-il inciter fiscalement les parents à transmettre de leur vivant ?
    Présenté par André Masson. Discussion par Pietro Intropi (UCLouvain – Chaire Hoover)

    15.45-16.30 : Tous héritiers ? Faut-il accorder une dotation en capital à tout jeune (de 25 ans) ?
    Présenté par André Masson. Discussion par Grégory Ponthière (UCLouvain – Chaire Hoover)
