MTF regularly publishes major reports on a wide variety of state fiscal and economic issues. In-depth analyses of the state budget and of local government finances are produced annually, a legislative directory is issued for each two-year legislative session, and interstate comparisons of taxes and business costs are updated periodically. MTF also publishes reports on a range of other topics of special interest, such as the Commonwealth's capital finances and the performance of the state's economy.

MTF frequently issues a variety of shorter publications, including bulletins, news releases, white papers, legislative testimony and presentations. These publications provide concise analyses of current policy issues and MTF's views on the key choices facing the Commonwealth's decision makers. Each year, a special series of bulletins offers analysis and commentary on the state budget for the coming fiscal year at each step in the process.

MTF's shorter publications and the news releases that accompany major reports can be viewed on this site. There is a modest charge for the major reports themselves, which can be ordered by printing and mailing the order form available on this site, or by contacting the Foundation at (617) 720-1000.

The shorter publications and news releases are in Portable Document Format (PDF). Viewing them requires Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free of charge from Adobe's website.
