Aims and scope
Public economics, with an emphasis on public policy
Agenda: Australian Public Finance welcomes submissions on public economics, with emphasis on public policy, including taxation, fiscal policy, social insurance, family economics, education, labour market policy, and political economy. The journal has a particular interest in issues relevant to Australia, but submissions do not need to have an Australian focus.
