This course focuses on a mixture of theory and applications that will provide the student the basic tools required to evaluate contemporary public finance issues and policies. Decisions about public spending, raising revenue, borrowing, and managing public debt are intensely political and involve personal interests, interest groups, and political parties, as well as other areas of concern. The subject matter of this course is presented in two parts: Budgeting and Revenue. Part One of the course covers government expenditure (budgeting) or the liability side of the balance sheet. Included in this part are such topics as the budget process, budgeting institutions, budget methods, budget classification, and capital budget and infrastructure. Part Two covers the topic of Revenue. Included in this part are such topics as the various types of taxes (income, sales, and property) as well as debt administration.
