Government Finance Research Center
About GFRC Heading link
The Government Finance Research Center (GFRC) is a research unit dedicated to innovative and unbiased public finance research and education that provides technical assistance on how to make government work better and improve the fiscal health of our communities. This mission is realized by GFRC staff, students, and affiliated faculty through community-engaged interdisciplinary research focused on today’s most important public finance and governance questions. The unique design of the GFRC is its emphasis on the local level with connections to the state and federal levels. Focusing on state and local government finances allows a bottom-up understanding of the possibilities and constraints on government actions that most closely connect to the daily lives of citizens and residents. GFRC concentrates its public finance research into the following clusters: Tax Policy and Administration, Fiscal Policy and Financial Position, Debt and Long Term Obligations, and Energy and Water Policy.
