Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
The two criteria of in economics or public finance are efficiency and equity. This course introduces main functions of governments related to these two criteria, and explains some features of central and local governments in Japan. The course of Public Finance aims to understand the basic theory of public finance and the fiscal activities of governments, related to efficiency and equity criteria. We study the issues of provision of public goods, externality, social Security, income (re)distribution, economic effects of taxation, some topics of intergovernmental fiscal relations, and other some fiscal decision-makings of central and local levels. While we mainly use the framework of traditional public finance theory, if necessary, we introduce public choice approach.
