OECD and Italian Government Announce 2008 Fellowship in Memory of Alessandro Di Battista

The Italian Government has generously established a fellowship in memory of the young Italian economist Alessandro Di Battista, who came from the Italian Ministry of Finance to work on tax analysis at the OECD and prematurely passed away in 2001. The fellowship is designed to allow a young Italian economist to be seconded to the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, to receive training, conduct research and acquire experience at the OECD.
