ifo Media Center
The ifo Institute invites you to participate in the discussion of interesting economic topics via the Internet. In our ifo Media Center a whole series of remarkable events are available and can be viewed in full length. We also record selected speeches and presentations given by employees or at events and make them available in our Media Center.
ifo Center for Public Finance and Political Economy
How are financial and fiscal policy instruments that are in use in Germany, the European Union and internationally to be evaluated? How do policy makers and institutions influence economic policy and its outcomes, e.g. economic growth? The Centre for Public Finance and Political Economy deals with these topics and derives policy recommendations from them. The motives for action of political decision-makers are examined in particular from the point of view of the public choice approach.
Research Group Taxation and Fiscal Policy
How can governments manage taxes, public spending and public debt efficiently and fairly? This question is investigated by the Research Group Taxation and Fiscal Policy headed by Florian Neumeier. The aim is to develop research-led policy recommendations on current and fundamental questions of taxation and fiscal policy at local, national and international level.
