The IFS organised our annual Public Economics Lectures Day on the 10th January 2020. The lectures are given by IFS researchers who are experts in different fields of public economics and on different areas of government policy. They are designed to be of particular interest to undergraduates and masters students in economics and related disciplines. Each of the lectures explores economic issues underlying an area of government policy, applying the tools of economics to give better understanding of the issue, and exploring recent economic research in this area.
Taxes, benefits, and labour supply
Health, social insurance and the role of the state
The economics of higher education
The economics of early childhood development
Designing taxes to discourage harmful behaviour
