The research analyses how Australia should best structure its government to maximise long-term economic performance in terms of economic growth and the optimal provision of public goods such as health, education and other public infrastructure. The optimal division of revenue raising and spending responsibilities between the federal government, State governments and other sub-national bodies like city and regional councils will be rigorously assessed from an economic perspective. The research will lead to recommendations regarding improvements in the structure of Australia's government sector, particularly the extent and nature of fiscal decentralisation, capable of improving productivity and future living standards.

该研究分析了澳大利亚应如何最好地构建其政府，以最大限度地提高经济增长和公共产品（如卫生，教育和其他公共基础设施）的最佳供应方面的长期经济绩效。将从经济角度严格评估联邦政府、州政府和市和地区议会等其他次国家机构之间的最佳收入和支出责任分工。 该研究将导致有关改善澳大利亚政府部门结构的建议，特别是财政权力下放的程度和性质，能够提高生产力和未来的生活水平。
