Описание: This textbook systematically sets forth the basic issues involved in public finance and public policy. Название: Public Finance and Public Policy
While the allocative branch of the government benefits from fiscal decentralization, it is difficult to obtain a distribution of incomes that differs from the outcome that the market brings along. It shows that fiscal decentralization is a method to disclose the preferences of currently living and future generations for local public goods, to limit the size of the government, and to avoid excessive public debt finance. The analysis thereby gives a new answer to the old question about the optimal degree of fiscal decentralization in a federal state.
Описание: The central question of this book is whether the assignment of government functions to the individual jurisdictions in a federal state can ensure an optimal allocation of resources and a fair income distribution. Название: Theory of Public Finance in a Federal State
