Features: This book will take readers to many cutting-edge areas of current fiscal theory research. The approach to material in this book is acceptable for university undergraduates and is also used by the majority of economists still active in the field today. The book provides a detailed discussion of debates on both methodological and substantive issues. It is designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in public administration. Readers should be familiar with the content of a standard introductory textbook in microeconomic theory. Since indifference curve analysis is sometimes used and is not covered in all introductory textbooks, a detailed explanation of indifference curves is provided in the appendix. Additionally, the appendix briefly reviews other aspects of basic microeconomics, including the supply and demand model and marginal analysis. These reviews should be sufficient to help readers who have not encountered microeconomics for some time to recall what they once learned. A glossary is also included after the appendix.
