The publication of theoretical and empirical research in various fields of public economics in International Tax and Public Finance is outstanding original research. Although the journal has always been strong in open economy, international, and cross jurisdictional issues, we still actively encourage high-quality submissions from various fields of public economics. The special "Policy Observation" column aims to promote communication between the academic community and the public policy field. This column includes timely policy oriented discussions.

Its goal is to provide a two-way forum for academic researchers to gain a deeper understanding of current policy priorities, allowing policy makers to access academic progress in practical ways. The magazine undergoes peer review and publishes one volume per year, with a total of six issues, one of which includes papers presented at the annual conference of the International Institute of Public Finance (reviewed in the usual manner).
