Main focus and working aims
The Working Group on Public Finance and Public Finance Management provides, within the framework of NISPAcee, a platform for researchers dealing with public finance, budgeting, taxation, fiscal policy and financial management of the public sector.
Specific goals
TheWG on Public Finance and Public Finance Managementannounces tworesearch tracksfor the 2018conference:
(1) General track which follows the main theme of the conference – Public Administration for Well-being and Growth, and
(2) Specialised track: Burning Issue in Local Government Finance in a ‘named’ Country.
They correspond to the objectives of the WG for 2018:
- To provide an open and stimulating environment for the presentation and discussion of papers dealing with economic aspects of the main conference theme.
- To identify and justify what the major burning issues facing local government finance are and/or their transition in the respective countries.
- To discuss and share views and challenges from different perspectives by using contemporary theoretical and empirical tools and methods.
- To suggest a series of topics that can be explored by the WG in years to come.
Guidelines for contributors
The paper selection is based on the submitted abstracts, which are original and with clearly defined objectives and research questions (i.e. what the researcher wants to find) and to carefully describe the research design and methods (i.e. what the researcher will actually do). Thus there is no need for a literature review in the abstract.
The abstracts which do not contain this basic information will be, at best, accepted conditionally and the authors will be asked to complete the abstract.
