- I. H. RoblinReviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2011
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introductory text
Verified PurchaseThe clear exposition of this text makes the concepts stimulating and colourful. Written in a user-friendly font, it is not an intimidating academic text and students will appreciate the use of 'plain english' by the authors.
In summary, this is a Public Economics text of encyclopaedic nature and it emphasises the broad nature of Public Economics, as it stands now. The concepts of equity and efficiency are defined clearly and the logical derivation of an optimal policy to address the trade-off between equity and efficiency is a key feature of this outstanding text. The methodology of policy formation is clearly outlined universally.
Top text.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, a good graduate level book on public economics!
Verified PurchaseIt is difficult to find a good graduate level public economics book which covers not only the traditional public finance but also public choice theory, both of which are now together called 'Public Economics'. It is a very useful book and has fulfilled a long desired need.
There has always been a relative lack of interest in public economics in american universities, where it is still considered rather less important compared to Micro and Macro economics. Over time, the role and responsibilites of the government in national economic scene was considered to be minimal in US, though there are instances where people working for an organization does not even know that it is a government owned/controlled entitiy!! Anyway, Eurpoe is a place where public economics is still considered an import part of economic analysis and it is no surpise that the authors of this book are from Eurpoe, even though it has been published by MIT Press.
The book has been written with an international perspective - thus you don't have a description of tax system in USA but a discussion of taxation theory, etc. The book covers broad areas of public economics and economic efficiency, government, efficiency and departure from it, political economy, equity and distribution, taxation, jurisdictional and temporal issues in 21 chapters. One of the added benefits of the book is the solution manual of the exercises available separately and it contains solution to ALL the problems in the book.
A must book for every public economics student and for those also who are not so interested in public economics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intermediate public economics
Verified PurchaseQuesta edizione con la copertina flessibile è molto buona e molto più pratica rispetto al formato con la copertina flessibile.
Il contenuto è come mi ero aspettata e non ci sono errori di stampa gravi.
Il venditore indiano è stato affidabilissimo tanto che mi è arrivato in 2 giorni non in 3 settimane come precedentemente annunciato.
L'unica pecca è stato il servizio che ha letteralmente gettato il pacco nel mio giardino, fortunatamente il venditore aveva ben incartato il libro e non ha subito nessun danno.
