Subject outline
This subject deals with public economic issues. The implications of externalities, public goods and nonconvexities for public policy are examined, and issues of collective choice and implementation are presented. The central topic of the course is the rationale for public intervention in decentralised economies. Case studies from Australia and other economies dealing with topics such as income distribution, microeconomic reform, taxation, the environment, health, education and social services illustrate the main theoretical ideas.
