Feature Summary

Current Research: The authors continue to introduce readers to the latest research. The approach is modern, theoretical, and empirical, and shared by most active economists.
Use of Econometric Models: The results of econometric models are used to help the student understand how expenditure and tax policies affect individual behavior and how the government itself sets policies.
Theory and Analysis Integrated: The authors integrate the analysis of government spending and taxing closely with economic theory. The goal is to interweave institutional, theoretical, and empirical material to provide students with a clear and coherent view of government spending and taxing.
Discussion of Controversies: Methodological and substantive controversies are discussed at length. The author subscribes to "full disclosure" not only in the securities market but in the idea market as well.
The relevant institutional and legal settings are described in detail, and the links between economic analysis and current political issues are emphasized.
