This conference showcased papers which focus on the macro effects of taxation and fiscal policy and on optimal policy design. It brought together economists who work on fiscal policy and taxation from the sub-disciplines of macro, public finance and international economics. The goal was to provide a wide variety of perspectives through which fiscal policy and taxation can be addressed. The papers ranged from empirical to theoretical and combined micro and macro approaches.

This conference was sponsored by the Macro Financial Research Initiative.
