ISEG — Lisbon School of Economics & Management is hosting the 82nd Annual Congress of the International Institute of Public Finance (IIPF), one of the world’s most prestigious gatherings in the field of public finance.
Under the theme “Public Finances in Turmoil”, the congress aims to bring together academics, researchers, and policymakers to discuss the challenges and uncertainties shaping public finances in an era marked by economic crises, geopolitical shifts, and structural transitions. The event seeks to contribute to the global debate on budgetary sustainability, tax reforms, and the role of the State in an unstable economic environment, further strengthening Lisbon’s position as a centre of excellence in economic and finance research.
The local organisation is led by António Afonso, José Alves e João Pereira dos Santos, lecturers and researchers at ISEG. The Scientific Committee is chaired by Naomi Feldman, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Dirk Foremny, from the University of Barcelona.
