UST 833 - Public Finance Seminar(4 credits)
Prerequisite(s): UST 603 or equivalent. Examines how scholars in public sector economics and budgeting think and write about important ideas in public finance, including the economic role of government in society, efficiency and social equity, public choice in democratic government, budgetary politics and processes, the role of analysis in government decisions, the principles of taxation, and fiscal federalism. Special attention is paid to reading and discussing the classic literature in the field. The philosophical assumptions that undergird this literature are explored in order to provide a critical appreciation of the way in which public finance scholars view the world, politics, society, and the nature of knowledge. Also, the nature of the activity of research in public finance is examined.
