OECD Studies is a publication series produced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It encompasses policy-oriented research across a wide range of areas, including macroeconomics and development, education, health, labor markets, environment, taxation, and governance. The series is designed to provide evidence-based analysis to inform policy decisions in OECD member and partner countries, as well as for researchers and practitioners.

Publications in the series take various forms, such as monographs, country reviews, and cross-country comparative studies. They typically present data analysis, methodological notes, case studies, and policy recommendations. The aim is to identify trends, benchmark performance, and propose reforms grounded in international experience.

OECD Studies are published primarily through the OECD iLibrary. Many titles are accessible online, with abstracts or summaries available freely; full texts may require subscription or purchase. Some items are released as open access.

History and scope: Since the OECD’s founding in 1961, the organization has produced a broad program of policy studies. The label “OECD Studies” has been applied to numerous thematically organized outputs, rather than to a single ongoing journal, reflecting the OECD’s role as a translator of comparative evidence for policy reform.

Impact and examples: The studies are widely cited in government briefings, international forums, and academic research, contributing to benchmarking and policy learning across countries. Related series include OECD Economic Studies, OECD Education at a Glance, and OECD Health at a Glance, illustrating the range of topics covered under the umbrella.
