180 submissions in the last 24 hours! We decided to extend the deadline until Monday 2/21 at midnight CET, so you still have a chance to come to Linz, Austria in August and attend the Congress of the International Institute of Public Finance

Here is the Call for Papers for the #iipf2022 Congress at @jku_econ in Linz, Austria on August 10-12, 2022. You are invited to submit by 18 February.
