Fiscal policy & public finances
Public funding is crucial: without resources, there can be no effective policy implementation. Efficiency and equity should be the guiding principles in managing public finances. Key research questions in this area include: Is the local tax structure influenced by political factors? How do local tax decisions impact the re-election prospects of politicians? To what extent do local taxes affect citizens' residential choices? What strategies can optimize regional tax systems? How can taxes be designed to become more acceptable to the public? These questions represent just a portion of the inquiries we explore as researchers in the field of fiscal policy and public finances.
