| Inhalte | This course provides a graduate-level introduction to public finance in open economies. Public policies that are optimal in closed economies may be affected by factor mobility and the resulting policy competition between states. The emphasis will be on theoretical concepts and their application. We examine public activities related to taxation and the provision of public goods, the welfare state and regulatory regimes with a focus on efficiency and equity. |
| Lern- und Qualifikationsziele | Students can explain and apply the main concepts of public finance in an open economy. They can identify the tools needed to analyse public activities with factor mobility. They can use theoretical insights to answer applied questions. They can understand and explain empirical studies in public finance. |
