The papers continue the journal’s tradition of bringing high-quality, policy-relevant research by NBER researchers to an audience of economists in government and in policy positions in Washington and to economists around the country with interests in policy-oriented economic research. The papers in this issue are wide-ranging, from tax issues in online education to the economics of disability transfers to normative issues in optimal taxation when biased responses are present.The attendees at the conference were also lucky to hear an interesting lunch presentation by Katherine Abraham of the University of Maryland and NBER, who spoke on the recently released Report of the Commission on Evidence-Based Policy-Making, of which she was co-chair.I would like to thank Rob Shannon of NBER for his usual expertise and organizational acumen in overseeing the logistical details, invitations, and operational aspects of the conference and to Jim Poterba for his continued assistance with the organization of the meeting. I would also like to thank Helena Fitz-Patrick for assistance in many other aspects of the conference, especially the shepherding of the papers toward final publication. I would like to acknowledge the continued financial support of the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. Finally, let me express my thanks to the authors themselves for the hard work they devoted to producing high-quality papers living up to the Tax Policy and Economy standard.
