2014 ZEW Public Finance Conference - Public Administration and Economic Performance

The Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) is pleased to announce the 2014 Public Finance Conference. While papers on all aspects of empirical and applied theoretical issues in public finance are welcome, the focus of this year’s conference will be on the role of public administration, in particular tax administration, for fiscal and economic performance.

We also invite paper submissions covering other topics in public finance, in particular:
