Title Applied Public Economics
Description This course covers research topics in public economics which are of high relevance for economic policy. The aim of the course is to teach students how to interpret economic analyses and how to use microeconomic tools and empirical analysis in order to investigate and evaluate the effects of public sector activities such as expenditures, regulation and taxation. The emphasis of the course will be to combine advanced theoretical models with sound empirical evidence. Among others we address the following topics: incidence and welfare effects of taxation, impact assessment of regulation, capital income taxation, taxation of multinational firms, and issues in international taxation.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of microeconomics and econometrics.
