Book synopsis

"The Economics of Public Spending" investigates the extent of government involvement in the economy, details it's rational, and traces its historical record. The book unites articles previously published in Fiscal Studies, each one addressing a different area of expenditure, and written by an economist specializing in that field. They describe both the data on public expenditure, and the theory relevant to understanding the policy issues. A new introduction investigates the overall role of the public sector and discusses the general theory of public expenditure. In providing a detailed analysis of public expenditure, the book makes an important contribution to the economics literature. There are no other texts with this breadth of coverage or depth of analysis. Insights are provided into both the policy issues, cross-country comparisons of expenditure, and alternative approaches to economic analysis. The chapters apply the tools of orthodox public finance, public choice, modern public economics, and game theory; to reach a range of policy proposals and conclusions. These demonstrate the range and potential of economic analysis when applied to these important issues.
