Our goal at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) is to promote effective economic and social policies by better understanding how policies affect individuals, families, businesses and the government's finances. The ESRC Institute at IFS acts as a national resource to conduct and disseminate world-class research to inform policy. We aim to: (a) make major scientific progress in understanding how individuals and firms behave and how they react to government policy and their broader economic and institutional environment; (b) ensure this knowledge is used to have substantial positive impact on the operation and evaluation of policy across a broad range of areas; and (c) operate as a national resource to build technical and policy capacity by exploiting and collecting new types of data, collaborating internationally and with those in other relevant disciplines, and training a new generation of highly skilled researchers. These objectives contribute directly to promote and support the production and application of world-class, independent social science. Our research agenda covers a broad range of topics and is designed to address major challenges the UK and other economies face in ensuring the resilience of households, firms and the broader economy. It will continue to evolve in response to the changing policy landscape. Our agenda is organised around five interconnected themes: inequalities and living standards; tax and benefit reform; human capital and productivity; the challenges of an ageing population; and demands on public expenditure and public services. Our research focuses on the impacts of policy and importantly on the mechanisms through which those impacts arise. This means we need to: model how people make decisions through their lives and the interactions between different economic actors; understand the context within which decisions are taken; use appropriate evaluation methods, and develop new ones where they do not exist; and develop new data and measurement tools where needed. Our main focus is on policy in the UK, but we also work with and inform policy debates in the US, Europe, and low- and middle-income countries. We regularly interact with researchers worldwide, exploiting our unique team-based research environment for capacity building in empirical policy research.

财政研究所（IFS）的目标是通过更好地了解政策如何影响个人、家庭、企业和政府财政，促进有效的经济和社会政策。金融研究所的ESRC研究所作为国家资源，开展和传播世界级的研究，为政策提供信息。我们的目标是：(a)在理解个人和企业如何行为以及他们如何对政府政策及其更广泛的经济和制度环境作出反应方面取得重大科学进展；(b)确保这些知识被用来对广泛领域的政策运作和评价产生实质性的积极影响；(c)通过开发和收集新型数据、开展国际合作以及与其他相关学科的合作以及培训新一代高技能研究人员，作为国家资源来建立技术和政策能力。这些目标直接有助于促进和支持世界级的、独立的社会科学的产生和应用。我们的研究议程涵盖了广泛的主题，旨在解决英国和其他经济体在确保家庭、企业和更广泛经济的弹性方面面临的主要挑战。它将根据不断变化的政策环境继续发展。我们的议程围绕着五个相互关联的主题：不平等和生活水平；税收和福利改革；人力资本与生产力；人口老龄化带来的挑战；以及对公共支出和公共服务的需求。我们的研究重点是政策的影响，更重要的是这些影响产生的机制。这意味着我们需要：模拟人们如何通过他们的生活和不同经济参与者之间的相互作用做出决策；理解做出决策的背景；采用适当的评价方法，并在没有评价方法的地方开发新的评价方法；并在需要时开发新的数据和测量工具。我们主要关注英国的政策，但我们也与美国、欧洲以及中低收入国家的政策辩论合作，并为其提供信息。我们经常与世界各地的研究人员进行互动，利用我们独特的团队研究环境进行实证政策研究的能力建设。
