Abstract
In this thesis we show how to calculate off-shell low energy effective actions and how to study the dynamics of the tachyon from string field theory. We discuss how to obtain an effective action for the massless field and we explain how to relate it to well known results. We then study the tachyon dynamics both in cubic and in boundary string field theory.
