His research appears in a variety of academic journals, where his contributions include advances in the methods used to measure income inequality and effective tax rates for individual and corporate taxpayers. He is currently investigating whether computed statistics on tax progressivity are systematically biased because previous research fails to control for changes in filing status, tax rate schedules, and income distribution. Wilkie teaches Accounting: Understanding and Analyzing Financial Statements at the Law School. Wilkie is actively involved in the American Accounting Association, where he previously served on the editorial board of the Journal of the American Taxation Association. He has worked for KPMG Peat Marwick, and taught executive education for Ernst & Young and other firms.
