Research in Public Finance
CPR continues its longstanding focus on the evaluation of city and state government fiscal management and performance. An early research project was among the first to identify New York City's coming fiscal crisis in the 1970s. More recent efforts have analyzed state tax structures and guided tax reforms. Other projects have addressed intergovernmental grants, municipal bond rating and credit analysis, measures of city fiscal conditions, property tax reform, and education finance. Funding for this research has come from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Education, the KMPG Peat Marwick Foundation, state government agencies, and other sources.
