Meridian Fiscal Policy Center was founded by economists and policy researchers who believed public debate over tax policy deserved a foundation of rigorous, transparent analysis rather than partisan talking points. Our mission is to improve public understanding of tax policy through principled research, clear data, and accessible education.
Every research product we publish is grounded in publicly available data and transparent methodology. We publish our models, sources, and assumptions alongside our conclusions so that policymakers, journalists, and taxpayers can evaluate our work on its merits.
Our research is used by legislative staff drafting tax policy, journalists covering fiscal debates, educators teaching public finance, and taxpayers seeking to understand how proposed reforms would affect them.
Meridian Fiscal Policy Center does not endorse candidates or political parties. Our analysis is guided by the principles of sound tax policy — simplicity, neutrality, transparency, and stability — regardless of which party proposes a given reform.
