Seligman, J.

This course in public finance & budgeting provides the policy oriented student an opportunity to think about the proper role and finance of the public sector in the economy. Picking up on themes from 6030 where we examined basic motivations for creating a public sector and its limited opportunities for intervention, we will here develop tools necessary for the budgeting and finance of interventions. Students will learn methods for budgeting and budget analysis. We will consider expenditure, taxes and intermediary financing options, both as direct policy instruments, and as result from variation in projected and actual revenues and expenditures. We will also consider tax deductions, credits and the general topic of tax expenditures, including both their possible appeal and limitations. When we evaluate interventions students are encouraged to consider finance along five dimensions -- elegance, equity, efficiency, public, and private finance outcomes.
Pre-requisite for this course is PUBAFRS 6030, Public Sector Economics or equivalent
