"Restoring Public Debt Sustainability: The Role of Independent Fiscal Institutions." George Kopits (ed.). Oxford University Press. October 2013. --- Since 2008, new independent fiscal institutions have been established all over the world, including in Canada, the UK, Slovenia, Australia, Ireland, Portugal and the Slovak Republic. This stimulating collection of essays explores the theories and approaches surrounding IFIs, and also examines how some of these largely heterogeneous institutions have worked in different countries where they have already been established, explains Richard Jones.
