The Fiscal Research Center (FRC) provides nonpartisan research, technical assistance and education in the evaluation and design of state and local fiscal and economic policy, including both tax and expenditure issues. The FRC objective is to promote the development of sound public policy and public understanding of issues concerning state and local governments.
Established in 1995, the center helps provide information to state and local governments so they can make informed decisions about complex fiscal issues. The center has a full-time staff and affiliated faculty from throughout Georgia State University and elsewhere who lead its research projects.
The FRC strives to help inform and stimulate debate on fiscal policy. The Center publishes Policy Briefs, which are widely distributed summaries of longer reports, as well as essays on issues confronting the state. The center also organizes periodic Seminars, Workshops, Luncheons and Conferences during which fiscal policy makers, administrators, and faculty discuss fiscal policy issues.
