Call for Papers

                  The deadline for paper submission has passed;
                  however, we cordially invite you to register and
                  attend this extremely topical conference.

The 67th Congress of the International Institute of Public Finance (IIPF) will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, on August 8-11, 2011. The theme of the keynote addresses that will be presented at the Congress is Rethinking the Role of the State: Responses to Recent Challenges, focusing on how the tools and methods of Public Economics and related disciplines can serve to understand the issues.

Contributed papers on any topic within the field of Public Economics and related disciplines — whether related to the theme or not — are being considered, as is traditional at IIPF congresses. Submissions were invited by all public finance experts in their respective fields of specialty.

The papers to be presented are being selected by a Scientific Committee. Submission of a paper is considered to be a commitment to attend the Congress, subject to the condition that the paper is accepted by the Scientific Committee. Authors of accepted papers must join the IIPF before inclusion in the Congress program. Payment of the annual membership fee ensures a reduced registration fee. Non-members must pay a submission fee of €20 that will be credited against their membership fee when joining the IIPF as a member (for information about submission fee payment: www.ifo.de/iipf/products.feesForm).

Membership includes a subscription to the journal International Tax and Public Finance (see the IIPF Web site, http://www.iipf.org). Selected papers will be published in a special issue of this journal; to be considered for publication, papers must be submitted formally to the journal by September 14, 2011.
