OECD Journal: Competition Law and Policy (Discontinued with Volume 2010 Issue 3)
Drawing on the best of the recent work done for and by the OECD Committee on Competition Law and Policy, articles provide insight into the thinking of competition law enforcers, and focus on the practical application of competition law and policy.
Here's what Robert Pitofsky, Chairman of the US Federal Trade Commission said about this journal when it was launched: "Global competition is the wave of the future, and comparative analysis of the laws and practices of various members of the worldwide community of nations is a necessary corollary. This new OECD Journal of Competition Law and Policy, compiled from OECD Round Table discussions, summaries of recent developments, and articles on topics of special interest, will introduce regulators, practitioners, and scholars to different regulatory approaches around the world and will allow us to consider in a more informed way the strengths and weaknesses of our own systems."

OECD Journal on Budgeting (Three issues per year)
This is a unique resource for policy makers, officials and researchers in public sector budgeting. It draws on the best of the work of the OECD Working Party of Senior Budget Officials, as well as special contributions from finance ministries, and makes it available to a wider community in an accessible format. It provides insight on leading-edge institutional arrangements, systems and instruments for the allocation and management of resources in the public sector.
The OECD Working Party of Senior Budget Officials brings together budget directors and other senior officials from finance ministries of the 34 Member countries of the OECD, as well as representatives of a number of non-member countries and other international organisations. It is a forum for the highest level officials to discuss major budgetary issues with their colleagues on the basis of specialised reports prepared ahead of each meeting.
The high-quality and innovative work carried out by the Working Party has been of immense value in modernising budgetary practices in member countries.
