The Centre publishes a limited number of Centre Briefings on policy and technical fiscal issues. These will be designed to provide careful expositions of key issues, aimed at a well-informed but non-specialist audience. This is one way in which the Centre discharges its responsibility to disseminate widely the results of its research. The following are presently available:

  • Understanding the concept of public expenditure
  • Understanding the concept of public money
  • Hypothecation
  • Private finance
  • Barnett formula
  • Total Managed Expenditure (forthcoming)
  • Departmental Expenditure Limit (forthcoming)
