	All subjects
	Tax system, welfare state and labour market
	Research in this area covers several aspects of the labour market, including wages, education and training, welfare to work and childcare. We also look at modelling the tax and benefit system and monitor trends in poverty and inequality.
	Consumer behaviour
	Understanding how consumers make decisions and what affects their behaviour is of key importance across a wide range of policy issues, from the analysis of indirect taxation to the assessment of competition policy. Areas of research include pension policy, saving and wealth, price indices and indirect taxes.
	Public finances
	IFS analysis of the public finances monitors the government's performance with reference to the Treasury's fiscal rules. Work in this area also looks at forecasts of revenue and spending and aims to inform public debate around the Budget, the Pre-Budget Report and the Spending Review.
	Productivity, innovation and corporation tax
	Research investigates how factors such as new entry, inward investment, innovative activity and ICT adoption affect productivity. Further work on innovation examines technology transfer and the links between market structure and innovative performance. The research also covers a range of issues in business taxation including tax competition, dividend taxation, and corporate income tax reform.
	Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice
	Cemmap provides a focus for the development, understanding and application of methods for modelling individual behaviour, the influences on it and the impact of policy interventions. The microdata methods studied at cemmap are the statistical and econometric tools used to identify and estimate models of behaviour. Cemmap run a variety of training courses and master classes.
	Tax Law Review Committee
	The TLRC keeps under review the state and operation of tax law in the UK, focusing on the working of the UK's tax system rather than the underlying policy. In particular, the TLRC examines whether aspects of the tax system are working in a satisfactory and efficient manner and if not, what might be done about it.
	Development policy evaluation
	IFS research is committed to identifying success and failures in interventions and to promoting best practice in evaluating and conducting interventions. In particular, research focuses on the impact of specific interventions in health, nutrition, skill acquisition, education, credit, insurance and labour.
