It began in November 1966. “It” was a journal. Not just any journal. A scholarly journal devoted to public finance, “a new scholarly journal for the study of the theory, policy, and institutions related to the allocation, distribution, and stabilization functions within the public sector of the economy.”¹ It said so on the frontal sheet of the journal when first published in January 1973. Yet, in November 1966, it had no name, no editor, no editorial board, and no publisher. Somehow, the planets nonetheless aligned by chance if not by design in November 1966, triangulated fortunately on the convention hotel for the Southern Economic Association (SEA) annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. There, at that time, a public finance journal was conceived. If not a biological father, I was at least one of two donors of genetic material needed to form the nature and character of the journal that was to become Public Finance Quarterly.

它始于1966年11月。“ It”是一本期刊。不只是任何期刊。一本致力于公共财政的学术期刊，“一种新的学术期刊，用于研究与经济公共部门中的分配，分配和稳定功能有关的理论，政策和机构。” ^1个它在1973年1月首次出版时就在该杂志的首页上这样说。但是，在1966年11月，它没有名字，没有编辑，没有编辑委员会，也没有出版商。某种程度上，尽管如此，行星还是偶然地在1966年11月偶然地对准，幸运地在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行的南部经济协会（SEA）年会的会议酒店上进行了三角剖分。那时，在那里构思了一个公共财政杂志。如果不是亲生父亲，我至少是构成《公共财政季刊》杂志性质和特征所需的两个遗传材料捐赠者之一。
