The aim of this course is to equip students with knowledge and understanding of the economic role of governments in modern market economies. By the end of the course, students will possess the analytical tools to understand why and under what circumstances government intervention in the economy is desirable; why and under what circumstances government provision of some goods and services is needed; why and how governments should regulate certain private economic activities; how taxation and transfers affect the welfare and behaviour of households and firms.
