About IIPF
The International Institute of Public Finance (IIPF) is the world organisation of public finance economists, comprising approximately 750 members from over 50 countries. In an increasingly specialised academic field, the IIPF seeks to generate intellectual interchanges among public finance experts.
The Institute’s annual congress is the main forum for its activities, which include organising academic events, promoting the exchange of knowledge between academics and practitioners of all nationalities, and awarding prizes for outstanding academic achievements.
The congress also provides an opportunity for the IIPF governing bodies to convene (Board of Management, General Assembly of Members). The IIPF is currently administered by an Executive Committee consisting of President Clemens Fuest (Ifo Institute and University of Munich, Germany) and two Vice Presidents: Katherine Cuff (McMaster University, Canada) and Wojciech Kopczuk (Columbia University, USA). The legal and administrative seat of the non-profit organisation IIPF is in Munich, Germany.
