The book unites articles previously published in Fiscal Studies, each one addressing a different area of expenditure and written by an economist specializing in that field. They describe both the data on public expenditure and the theory relevant to understanding the policy issues. A newintroduction investigates the overall role of the public sector and discusses the general theory of public expenditure.In providing a detailed analysis of public expenditure, the book makes an importantcontribution to the economics literature. There are no other texts with this breadth of coverage or depth of analysis. Insights are provided into both the policy issues, cross-country comparisons of expenditure, and alternative approaches to economic analysis. The chapters apply the tools of orthodox public finance, public choice, modern public economics, and game theory to reach a range of policy proposals and conclusions. These demonstrate the range and potential of economic analysis whenapplied to these important issues. Author Biography David Miles is Professor of Finance at Imperial College, University of London.
