The Handbook of Public Sector Economics builds an understanding of
the role of public economics in public administration, public
policy, and decision making. The handbook introduces a wide variety
of current issues related to the public provision and production of
goods and services.
The volume documents the history of economics and fiscal doctrine,
explores the theory of public goods and the structures from which
resources are collected and expanded, and analyzes heavily debated
issues of economics that are important to current and future
practitioners of public policy and administration. It focuses on
the effects of fiscal policy on savings and investment, consumer
behavior, labor supply, wealth, property, and trade. Written in a
simple and straightforward style, the initial chapters establish
the foundation of public economics, with the subsequent chapters
addressing the collection and distribution of government resources
and market reactions to fiscal policies.
