PUBLIC FINANCE RESEARCH CLUSTER
Welcome to the PFRC
The Public Finance Research Cluster (PFRC) provides nonpartisan research, technical assistance, and training to inform decision makers, build public-sector capacity, and contribute to scholarship. With PFRC at the core of its applied public finance research, the Andrew Young School's public finance program is among the best in the country, currently ranked No. 5 in U.S. News & World Report's annual issue on the nation’s best graduate schools.
As you explore our website, we encourage you to engage with our research, attend our events, and connect with our team. PFRC is not just a think tank—it is a community of dedicated scholars and creative innovators collectively shaping the future of fiscal governance.

Tax Incentive Evaluations
In preparation for the 2024 legislative session, PFRC's Fiscal Research Center completed four tax preference evaluations for the State of Georgia. These analyses were requested by the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee to examine the financial and economic impacts of several major tax preferences in Georgia to see if they work as lawmakers intended-stemming from 2021 legislation that allows the tax-writing committees to request evaluations as a way to ensure more fiscal accountability. Since then, the General Assembly has annually selected up to 10 preferences for review, with the majority evaluated by Georgia State University.
