Description
Featuring a general equilibrium framework that is both cohesive and versatile, the Second Edition of
Public Finance: A Normative
Theory brings new and updated information to this classic text. Through its concentration on the microeconomic theory of the
public sector in the context of capitalist market economics it addresses the subjects traditionally at the heart of public sector economics,
including public good theory, theory of taxation, welfare analysis, externalities, tax incidence, cost benefit analysis, and fiscal federalism.
Its goal of providing a foundation, rather than attempting to present the most recent scholarship in detail, makes this
Second
Edition both a valuable text and a resource for professionals.
Audience:
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses in public finance and public economics.
