Fiscal Studies (FS)

Fiscal Studies is the flagship quarterly journal of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), established in 1979 to bridge the gap between academic economic research and public policy debate. Since its inception, it has developed a strong international reputation for publishing rigorous, original research that is accessible to both scholarly and policymaking audiences. The journal typically includes both contributed empirical and theoretical papers, as well as invited symposia on current policy issues, with emphasis on how fiscal and public economic policies affect individual and firm behaviour and broader economic outcomes. Articles in Fiscal Studies feature clear exposition and relevance to contemporary policy challenges such as taxation, welfare reform, education outcomes, labour supply, demographic change, inequality and public spending programmes. The editorial board draws leading scholars from institutions around the world, ensuring academic quality and impartial peer review. The journal is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, combining rigorous academic standards with practical policy relevance. Fiscal Studies is indexed in major bibliographic databases, and is widely cited in research and policy circles, serving as a key bridge between economic academia and real-world fiscal policymaking.
