This textbook equips instructors and students with an overview of
the existing literature so that the latter can attain an overall
understanding of macroeconomic and microeconomic public finance.
The literature on public finance has grown dramatically with
theoretical studies and empirical analysis, and much of the focus
has been on macroeconomic effects of public services. The
standard textbook offerings, however, are mainly restricted to
microeconomic topics of public finance. This text intends to fill
this gap by presenting a theoretical-based, comprehensive
explanation of public finance. Particular emphasis is directed at
developing tools that can be applied theoretically and
empirically to clarify essential economic concerns in the current
public sector in advanced countries, including Japan. Such
concerns include the macroeconomic effect of fiscal policy, the
dependence on bonds for covering government deficits, and social
security reform. The main text explains the standard concepts of
public finance, and the appendix offers various advanced topics.
The material will facilitate an understanding of how to
investigate changes in the public sector, interpret results, and
basically do research on fiscal policy. The textbook will be of
value to a broad range of course offerings, including those
generally focused on fiscal policy, on social security reform and
on tax reform.
