Abstract: The Australian National University's Centre for Research on Federal Financial Relations was established in 1972 under a special research grant from the Australian Government.Its role in relation to the Australian federal system is to sponsor research which will extend the range of information and analysis and suggest ways and means of making the system function more effectively.The research program of the Centre has regard to expenditure responsibilities of the several levels of government, financial powers (with respect to both taxation and loan fi'1ance), grants arrangements and the scope for intergovernmental co operation.Work is directed to four major fields of study: (a) financial and economic analysis of the Australian and other federal systems; (b) criteria and machinery for determining the allocation of financial resources among govern ments; ( c) intergovernmental aspects of urban and regional development; and (d) the impact of the federal financial system on the effectiveness of expenditure in functional fields such as education.
