Steeped in complex math, the graduate textbook introduces a general equilibrium model for public sector analysis, the normative theory of government policy, the social welfare function in
policy analysis, externality problems, the allocational theory of taxation, measures of tax incidence, transfer payments, and fiscal federalism. The third edition adds four chapters on
retirement pensions, medical insurance, behavioral public finance, and international public finance. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
