Public Finance
When should the government intervene in the economy? Under what circumstances is public ownership better than private ownership? On this public finance course you will start with a discussion of the role of the public sector.
You will study related political economics aspects and focus on market imperfections such as externalities and public goods. The course finally deals with taxation and tax evasion.
This course replaces Public Finance with course code EC2106.
