	New Statesman - The New Statesman Profile - Institute for Fiscal Studies
		When the institute said, at the beginning of the election campaign, that the tax burden had gone up under Labour, there was no point in anyone claiming that it had not.
		The institute was first mooted in 1965 by four City executives who were appalled by the then chancellor James Callaghan's introduction of capital gains tax, in what they regarded as a half-baked piece of legislation.
		Such criticism deliberately ignores the limits of the institute's self-defined role, which is to unravel the deceits of politicians and civil servants so that the rest of us can judge for ourselves whether we are being cheated.

	Institute for Fiscal Studies (anniversary piece): April 1999
		When Dick Tavern asked me to become the Institute’s first full-time research director, the decision to give up the comfortable tenured position of lecturer at the University of Oxford — till 30 September 2015 — was not an easy or an obvious one.
		So in January 1979 I arrived at the Institute’s first premises in a depressing location at Castle Lane, to manage a research staff of two people.
		Fiscal neutrality is today a cliché, and it is hard now to remember how unfamiliar a notion it was twenty years ago.

		The study shows that the differences in health between the two nations are not fully explained by lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking, excess weight and poor exercise.
		The research was supported by a grant from the US National Institute of Aging to RAND and the Institute for Fiscal Studies, from the Economic and Social Research Council to IFS and from the MRC to UCL.

	Study by Institute of Fiscal Studies shows that low-earners die sooner
		Poorer people in their fifties were 10 times more likely to die earlier than those who are richer, the study said and that was despite an "even distribution in the quality of healthcare between different wealth groups".
		However, for healthcare provision, the study found the treatment given to rich or poor was much the same.
		The authors of the IFS study noted that "less glamorous" conditions, including urinary incontinence, recurrent falls and poor balance, seemed to be less well treated than conditions that were of "greater public health importance".

		The institute's unique role in public life has not been built by polishing a brand - even its friends admit that three of the four words in its title are a turn-off.
