Finanzarchiv, as the authoritative journal in the field of public economics, is known for its in-depth research on various fields of public economics that are of concern to international readers. It not only covers traditional areas such as taxation, public debt, public goods, and public choice, but also focuses on modern issues such as federalism, market failure, social policy, and the welfare state, reflecting the universality and timeliness of public economics.

Particular emphasis is placed on the publication of high-quality theoretical and empirical papers on current policy issues, which demonstrates the journal's commitment to closely integrate academic research with real-world policy issues. By publishing high-quality papers, journals provide policymakers, academics and professionals with the theoretical basis and empirical evidence to analyze and solve real-world economic problems in depth. It also focuses on the interdisciplinary study of public economics, and encourages the cross-integration of economics with other disciplines such as political science, sociology, and law.
