Students will have a sound knowledge of concepts and phenomena related to public finance and public intervention in the economy such as: market failures (public goods, externalities, asymmetric information, natural monopoly); merit goods; general taxation principles; equity and efficiency criteria for assessing the tax and the welfare system; tax incidence and excess burden.
