This graduate course brings together the latest research ideas and topics in public economics and political economy. The focus is primarily on theoretical work. The course consists of two parts. The first part covers topics in public economics such as the theory of public goods and the theory of optimal taxation. The second part addresses political economy issues such as political behavior (of voters, candidates, legislatures, interest groups, political parties, media) and political distortions (inefficient redistribution, career concerns, dynamic problems).
