Aims and Scope of Fiscal Studies

Fiscal Studies is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The journal was established in 1979 and aims to bridge the gap between academic research and policy. The contents of the journal reflect a broad interpretation of “fiscal studies”, with articles tending to use applied microeconomics to consider how policies affect individuals, families, businesses and governments' finances. Published papers cover a broad range of topical issues. Recent examples include public finances since the recession, higher education finance, corporate taxation, labour supply, poverty and inequality, wealth, the measurement of well being and productivity.
