Our series introduces you to the researchers and gives an impression of the President’s meeting with them.
In episode 18, the President visits Prof. Dr. Frank Hechtner. He holds the Chair of Taxation at FAU.
Frank Hechtner investigates tax complexity, and analyzes tax law and costs arising from compliance with bureaucracy and tax regulations.
He analyzes these areas, as these are the areas that finance the wide range of tasks carried out by the state and have an impact on both companies and individuals.
Before moving to FAU, he was at TU Kaiserslautern.
When he was a child, he was fascinated by construction workers and building sites.
