発表概要
The world has changed dramatically in the decade and a half since publication of the third edition of the world's most widely used public finance textbook, Economics of the Public Sector. We have experienced two global economic crises, the East Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-98 and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08. The unity of the Euro Zone is strained as never before. China has become the world's second largest economy. Countries around the world are searching for new ways to finance sustainable growth and more inclusive social protection programs as their populations age and inequality increases. We will explore how these international and domestic changes have influenced the way we think about public sector economics both in theory and in practice, how public finance fundamentals are being questioned in light of empirical observations.
