Public Finance

Public Finance provides a modern treatment of public finance principles with an emphasis on policymaking and policy analysis. Using a variety of applications in the context of fiscal federalism, the text evenly addresses local, state, and federal issues. At the same time, Anderson incorporates international issues, such as comparisons of the public sector in different countries as well as discussions of the IMF and World Bank.

John E. Anderson received his Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate School and currently teaches as Professor of Economics at University of Nebraska, Lincoln. His research centers on tax policy, particularly local tax policy and property taxes.
