Browse Hierarchy ECN352: Public Economics

Public economics explores the role of government in the economy and the design of economic policy. This module aims to develop a deep understanding of why governments intervene in markets (through taxation, regulation, and public spending) and how such interventions can be appraised and evaluated. Students will gain practical skills in economic appraisal and policy evaluation techniques, enabling them to analyse the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of public policies in real-world contexts.
