Public sector economics is a field which has seen immense progress in recent years, both in the theoretical treatment of the relevant issues as well as in empirical work. This comprehensive new reports on some of the more striking recent developments in a selection of areas within public sector economics. Part I of the book concerns public sector production. It introduces a new approach to the evaluation of public sector investment projects, reviews some of the latest work on the regulation of public utilities and nationalized industries, and discusses publicly provided private goods. Part II, on distribution and welfare, combines a study of the politics of fiscal policy with a fresh approach to the analysis of poverty, and surveys the main results that are available concerning commodity and income taxation. The final part turns to quantitative analysis, presenting some of the problems that arise in the econometric estimation of models of household behaviour, together with the rapidly expanding area of applied general equilibrium models.
