This session will bring together researchers studying how tax policies and government spending programs shape economic outcomes. We welcome submissions examining the efficiency and distributional effects of public interventions, as well as how these policies influence the behavior of households and firms. Studies using reduced-form, structural, experimental, or quasi-experimental approaches to address core questions in public economics are welcome. Submissions from scholars at all career stages are encouraged.
