内容説明
Harvey Rosen's up-to-date "Public Finance" continues to be the market-leading book, taking its readers to the frontiers of current research, yet remaining accessible to undergraduates. Although it draws upon the latest research, the book never loses sight of the reality it is supposed to describe, always drawing the links between economic analysis and current political issues. By removing the material on accounting issues from the previous chapter 2, the text now reaches the more important material more quickly, thereby engaging the student immediately. There is more discussion on education, including the effects of education on subsequent income and the effect of early intervention programmes, and the section on healthcare issues has been expanded.
