Synopsis

The fifth edition of Public Finance: A Contemporary Application of Theory to Policy has been revised to help focus on emerging fiscal issues of the next century. The textbook continues its comprehensive treatment of economic theory and applications in the field of public finance. Institutional material is integrated with the theory and applied to current issues, emphasising microeconomic analysis of government functions, expenditures, and finance. International issues are achieving greater significance in public finance. To provide resources on global issues, each chapter of this textbook has a separate International View feature that provides information or analysis on fiscal issues in other nations or explains how increased integration of the U.S. economy into a vast global economy affects economic policy. Each chapter also contains a Public Policy Perspective that applies the text analysis to a current issue and provides facts on the U.S. public sector. This book is adapted easily to a variety of approaches to teaching public finance and incorporates detailed analyses of both expenditure and revenue aspects of public finance. It also provides an abundance of real-world examples and data to provoke students' interest, presenting an unbiased exposition of the field of public finance by discussing opposing views of important issues.
