The Public Economic Evaluation research group (EVALPUB) was created to develop rigorous and useful research for managers and users of public policies. Our evaluation is carried out in the field of public economics, which takes into account both the expenditure and revenue sides of public administrations. On the revenue side, we work on both theoretical analysis and the design and evaluation of tax reforms. We are also concerned with the distribution of resources between different levels of government, carrying out work on Regional Economics and Fiscal Federalism. On the expenditure side, we are interested in the main policies that fall within the Welfare State: Education and Culture, Social Services, Health and Equality, as well as Environmental Policy. We pay special attention to the joint analysis of both facets of public activity through Tax and Benefit Microsimulation models. We also use different evaluation techniques (experimental and quasi-experimental) in order to analyse the impact of different public policies.
