Topics are coherently explored and include welfare economics, taxation theory, applied problems in public economics and fiscal federalism. All results are explicitly derived, making analysis of topics much clearer for students. The book also interweaves topics from the frontiers of research, giving students a basis from which to participate in contemporary discussions. This book will be of great use to advanced undergraduates and also postgraduates in public economics.
