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 the effects of future announced sales taxes on current car sales, to what firms said they would do in response to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, to the distributional effects of moving to independent taxation.The attendees at the conference were also lucky to hear an interesting lunch presentation by Vitor Gaspar, director of the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), who discussed the issues currently confronting the fiscal policies of IMF member countries.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 with many other aspects of the conference, especially the shepherding of the papers toward final publication. And 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 the Economy standard.
