Public MicroeconomicsEfficiency and Equity in Public PolicyJoaquim Silvestre, University of California, Davis, US This book contains a concise, simple, yet precise discussion of externalities, public goods and insurance. Rooted in the first fundamental theorem of welfare economics and in noncooperative equilibrium, it employs elementary calculus. The book presents established theory in novel ways, and offers the tools for the application of the social welfare criteria of efficiency and equity to environmental economics, networks, bargaining, political economy, and the pricing of public goods and public utilities.

Introduction to Cost–Benefit AnalysisLooking for Reasonable ShortcutsGinés de Rus, University of Las Palmas de G.C. and the University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain‘In Introduction to Cost–Benefit Analysis, Ginés de Rus provides the conceptual foundations of a cost–benefit analysis undertaken for public investments. . . This book serves well as an introductory textbook for courses in urban planning, public economics, and policy and program evaluation for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. . . economists may find it useful as a guide of the basics of cost–benefit analysis’

– Uma Kelekar, Journal of Planning Education and Research

‘Ginés de Rus has produced an excellent book which will be very useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in public economics. . . This text is highly recommended.’

– Per-Olov Johansson, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden


Fiscal FederalismWallace E. Oates, University of Maryland, College Park and Resources for the Future, USThis reprinted edition of a classic and truly seminal book, written by one of the leading thinkers in the field, represents the first comprehensive treatment of the economic theory of multi-level government. It explores the specific economic roles of the various levels of government, the assignment of different forms of taxation to central, state (provincial), and local governments, and the fiscal links between tiers of government provided by intergovernmental grants. This reprinted edition includes a new preface that briefly describes the origins of the book and comments on the evolution of the theory and practice of fiscal federalism since its original publication. The primary interest in the book will come from scholars and graduate students interested in multi-level public finance and public economics.

Applied Cost–Benefit Analysis, Second EditionRobert J. Brent, Fordham University, USAcclaim for first edition:

‘The author succeeds in bringing together many interesting real-life applications of CBA in various areas (including among others health, environment and transportation). The examples are well chosen to illustrate the basic issues and show clearly the crucial importance of theoretical and methodological assumptions. Moreover, they are presented in an accessible and attractive way. For those who know already the principles of CBA, these applications are stimulating and enjoyable reading.’

– Erik Schokkaert, Tijdschrift voor Economie en Management

This fully updated edition continues in the vein of its predecessor by viewing cost–benefit analysis as applied welfare economics, while at the same time building on the earlier framework by extending the theory and providing further applications in each chapter.


A Primer for Benefit–Cost AnalysisRichard O. Zerbe Jr., University of Washington and Allen S. Bellas, Metropolitan State University, US Benefit–cost analysis (BCA) is the best technique for analyzing proposed or previously enacted projects to determine whether undertaking them is in the public interest, or for choosing between two or more mutually exclusive projects. An introduction to BCA for students as well as practitioners, this accessible volume describes the underlying economic theory and legal and philosophical foundations of BCA.

RESEARCH COLLECTIONS

The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series

The Economics of AusterityEdited by Suzanne J. Konzelmann, Birkbeck, University of London and University of Cambridge, UKThrough her judicious selection of previously published material, Dr Konzelmann investigates the key social, political and financial developments that have shaped the evolution of austerity economics. These include the early classical debates, the politicization of austerity, the Keynesian challenge to existing thought and the revival of pre-Keynesian ‘Neo-Liberal’ ideas during the 1970s. Discussion of the radical changes to economic thought and policy in the decades before the 2007–8 financial crisis and the key dimensions of the post 2007–8 debate bring the account right up to the present day.

A Handbook of Alternative Theories of Public EconomicsEdited by Francesco Forte, Sapienza – University of Rome, Italy, Ram Mudambi, Temple University, US and Pietro Maria Navarra, University of Messina, Italy and London School of Economics, UK‘A Handbook of Alternative Theories of Public Economics is especially welcome because it gathers studies on the problems of public economics from widely different angles. Long gone is the time when it was enough to study Musgrave to be up to date with the economics of government and social welfare. The field is now hotly disputed, so that this Handbook will prove informative about parts of the literature the specialist may be unaware of.’

– Pedro Schwartz, San Pablo University, Madrid, Spain

‘All in all, the book provides a most welcome source of new and sometimes very different ways of thinking about public economics.’

– Ronald Wintrobe, Western University, Canada

This comprehensive and thought-provoking Handbook reviews public sector economics from pluralist perspectives that either complement or reach beyond mainstream views. The book takes a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, drawing on economic elements in the fields of philosophy, sociology, psychology, history and law.

International Handbook of Energy SecurityEdited by Hugh Dyer, University of Leeds, UK and Maria Julia Trombetta, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands‘This Handbook should be consulted by anybody interested in the issue of energy security. It convincingly demonstrates why the provision of energy is such a contentious issue, addressing the complex interaction of economic, social, environmental, technical and political aspects involved. The book is particularly valuable in investigating and highlighting processes in which (inter)national actors apply this variety of aspects in (re)constructing their notion of “energy security”, its particular meaning and the implications thereof. Such understanding of energy security is helpful!’

Industrial Policy in AmericaBreaking the TabooMarco R. Di Tommaso, University of Ferrara, Italy and Stuart O. Schweitzer, University of California, Los Angeles, USIn contrast to what observers have frequently argued, this timely and thought provoking book suggests that the concept of industrial policy is not alien to the American past and present.

The debate on this topic in the US has always been full of contradictory rhetoric and policy practices, and the expert authors therefore acknowledge a need to rethink the traditional antagonist positions. They illustrate that contemporary markets continue to demand to be fixed by government policies, and governments continue to show how fixing-the-market policies might fail. The conclusion is that the future of industrial policy is about how to make both markets and governments better in their functioning, but that the real goal for industrial policy is to make better-market and better-government policies consistent with the goal of building a better society.



Handbook on the Economics of Cultural HeritageEdited by Ilde Rizzo, University of Catania and Anna Mignosa, University of Catania, Italy and Erasmus University Rotterdam, The NetherlandsThe Handbook on the Economics of Cultural Heritage outlines the contribution of economics in designing cultural heritage policies and in addressing the issues related to the conservation and enhancement of heritage. Taking into account the peculiarities of heritage, where cultural and economic values co-exist, the Handbook offers a multidisciplinary approach, showing how challenging though crucial the dialogue across disciplines can be.

Growing the Productivity of Government ServicesPatrick Dunleavy, London School of Economics and Political Science and Leandro Carrera, King’s College, UK‘Carrera and Dunleavy provide a crystal clear and comprehensive account of the complex issues involved in how best to improve the productivity of government services. They offer a nuanced but powerful explanation of productivity puzzles, conundrums and dilemmas in the public sector. But they also offer solutions to many of these problems. Finally, I have found a text on public economics that makes sense, gives genuine management insights and offers real suggestions to practitioners as to what to do next.’

– Barry Quirk, Chief Executive, London Borough of Lewisham, UK

‘Dunleavy and Carrera have performed a difficult, burdensome, original, practical and innovative service to the public sector practitioners and academic observers of public administration and public sector management. This is a book that simply had to be written, but it took a colossal amount of time, effort and experience to do so, and to do it so well.’

Public Finance & Expenditure


Deficits, Debt, and DemocracyWrestling with Tragedy on the Fiscal CommonsRichard E. Wagner, George Mason University, USThis timely book reveals that the budget deficits and accumulating debts that plague modern democracies reflect a clash between two rationalities of governance: one of private property and one of common property. The clashing of these rationalities at various places in society creates forms of societal tectonics that play out through budgeting. The book demonstrates that while this clash is an inherent feature of democratic political economy, it can nonetheless be limited through embracing once again a constitution of liberty.


NEW RESEARCH COLLECTION

Tax Reform in Developing CountriesEdited by James Alm, Tulane University and Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Georgia State University, USIn recent decades countries around the world have seen a wide diversity of tax reforms, both in major systematic changes, and through more specific areas of tax, such as value-added and income tax. The results of these reforms, however, have been unequal, and many issues remain unresolved. With advances in globalization, technology and regional integration, the issue of adapting tax systems in developing countries to new economic environments is becoming ever more pressing.

This collection combines the best research from the past three decades on tax reform in developing countries to highlight the state of knowledge of tax reform, analyse useful policy options, and present new and critical approaches to this increasingly significant issue.

Tax, Law and DevelopmentEdited by Yariv Brauner, University of Florida Levin College of Law, US and Miranda Stewart, University of Melbourne Law School, Australia ‘Anyone working on tax policy for middle and low income countries will consider this book a must-read. Economic globalization of capital markets and multinational corporations has overtaken the abilities of many countries to tax incomes of multinationals and individual residents. From extraction industries to fiscal federalism, the papers demonstrate the importance of sound legal frameworks and formal cooperation across multiple countries and levels of government for implementing sound tax policy in developing nations.’

Taxation and DevelopmentThe Weakest Link?Edited by Richard M.

The book argues that to better understand how taxes work in developing countries, more progress is needed in the direction of a broadening, rather than narrowing, of approach to the subject, although there is still, of course, much to be done with respect to developing and applying new modeling techniques to developing country data.

Privatisation & Regulation

RESEARCH COLLECTION

The Causes and Effects of DeregulationEdited by Paul W. MacAvoy, Yale School of Management and Richard Schmalensee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USBeginning with railroad regulation in 1887 and continuing for eight decades, the U.S. Federal Government expanded its regulatory scope to cover key transportation, telecommunications and energy sectors. In the last quarter of the 20th century this long-term trend was abruptly and dramatically reversed as important sectors of the U.S. economy were deregulated. This important collection charts the causes and effects of this process.

41 articles, dating from 1968 to 2012 Contributors include: S. Borenstein, J.A. Hausman, P.L. Joskow, A.E. Kahn, R. Noll, S. Peltzman, N.L. Rose, G.J. Stigler, P. Temin, M.D. Whinston

Regulating Transport in EuropeEdited by Matthias Finger, ÉPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland and Torben Holvad, University of Oxford, UKThis book concerns the regulation of transport within a European context, covering air, inland waterways, rail, road passenger and freight, urban public transport, and short sea shipping. All these sectors have experienced substantial changes over the last two decades, in terms of ownership, competition and liberalisation, and the book aims to explore the main transformations and their impacts. The authors address these issues, with a specific focus on the effects of the organisation and regulation of transport systems on their performance. They also provide timely policy recommendations, including possible European future policy initiatives.


Handbook on the Politics of RegulationEdited by David Levi-Faur, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel and the Free University of Berlin, Germany‘To my mind, this Handbook has accomplished a major task – mapping and analysing the intellectual terrain around today’s regulatory fabric and tomorrow’s regulatory challenges. It is to be commended for not only taking on that task but also for succeeding so well. It is rare for the blurb on a book cover to match up to the text inside. In this Handbook, it does. The Handbook gives extraordinary coverage, and is comprehensive, engaging, informed and quite frankly, exciting. What a great combination.’

The Role of the Postal and Delivery Sector in a Digital AgeEdited by Michael A. Crew, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark and Timothy J. Brennan, University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Resources for the Future, USThis volume describes the continuing problem of the decline of the postal sector in the face of electronic competition and offers strategies for the survival of mail services in a digital age.

The 25 original papers in this collection provide econometric analyses on the changing demand and elasticity of mail in the modern era. Proposed solutions to declining interest in the postal sector include closer links between mail services and the digital sphere, expansion of the parcel sector, changes to the universal service obligation, legal reform and regulatory change.

Urban Competitiveness and InnovationEdited by Pengfei Ni, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Zheng Qiongjie, Nanjing Academy of Social Sciences, Jiangsu, ChinaAgainst the backdrop of today’s climate of economic globalization and the rapid development of information, this timely book explores the complex concept of competitiveness between cities. The expert contributors illustrate that innovation is a prerequisite for increasing urban competitiveness, and highlight the various ways that urban innovation-based competitiveness can be approached.


Urban Economics and Urban PolicyChallenging Conventional Policy WisdomPaul C. Cheshire, London School of Economics and Political Science, Max Nathan, London School of Economics and Political Science and National Institute of Economic and Social Research and Henry G. Overman, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK‘Urban Economics and Urban Policy pulls together cutting-edge developments in urban and regional economics and draws out their implications for urban policy. This new urban economics goes beyond simple comparative advantage and cost competitiveness of cities, and beyond simple views of capital and labor. It develops a much more complex and realistic view of what constitutes local advantage, due to the spatial sorting of different types of people and different types of firms, giving rise to a lumpy landscape of people, activities, and incomes. By taking seriously the new ways we understand the forces shaping the geography of economic development, the authors suggest fresh new ways to work with the grain of markets, but without letting them rip. It is a tour de force.’

Accessibility and Spatial InteractionEdited by Ana Condeço-Melhorado, Joint Research Center – IPTS, Spain, Aura Reggiani, University of Bologna, Italy and Javier Gutiérrez Puebla, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, SpainAccessibility is a useful concept for representing the level of spatial interaction (flows of people, goods or information) between a set of locations, through a transport (physical and/or digital) infrastructure network. Its performance has been recognized in the framework of sustainability policy, in light of best practice planning and decision-making processes, where methods such as cost benefit analysis, multi-criteria analysis and risk analysis, can embed accessibility results. The rationale of this book is to present a collection of recent studies, modelling and discussing spatial interaction by means of accessibility indicators. Chapters have been organized in three different sections: methods and data sources used to estimate spatial interaction through accessibility indicators, spatial and social dimension of accessibility and accessibility as a driver of spatial interaction.
