Accessible, comprehensive, and rigorous: Public Sector Economics provides the ideal balance of theoretical and applied coverage.
In the only textbook to provide rigorous coverage of both economic theory and its applications to real-world policy, Vivien Burrows draws examples from a wide range of countries and encourages students to develop their own ability to apply the theory in new contexts.
Key Features:
· Provides comprehensive coverage of economic theory in an accessible manner.
· Focuses heavily on analyzing applications of the theory to real-world policies.
· Includes up-to-date policy examples from the UK, Europe, and a wide range of other countries.
· Discusses the neoclassical theory for government intervention, along with critiques and alternative perspectives.
· Explores how insights from behavioural economics can inform policy design.
· Explains the intuition behind different theories and arguments, rather than abstract mathematical modelling.
