“I find that with the application of the equimerio tools, my master students of tax law and tax economics are much better able to oversee the impact of tax restructurings on the collaborative relationships of families in the company and, consequently, on managerial dynamics. This makes the analysis of case studies considerably sharper.”

Mr. dr. Mitra Tydeman, University lecturer with Tilburg University associated with Tilburg Institute for Family Business
