In 2002 the OECD asked her to co-direct a study that examined reallocation in twelve member-countries. This report formed the basis of extensive discussions in the OECD working groups of Senior Budget Officials, and the Committee for Chairs of Parliamentary Committees. Dr Kelly has authored reports, articles and book chapters on this topic, co-authored the book Managing Public Expenditures in Australia and the OECD Report Reallocation: the role of budget institutions.
