Economics · Columbia University
public finance, government revenues and expenditure, development policy
All about Public Economics, saw that there are several ways to look at government projects and how to evaluate their success.
Framework for understanding public economic decisions.
I learned very little, frankly. The most interesting part of the class was the political economy part.
talked a lot about taxes and different public policies
I learned about the intersection of the public sector and economics. How government decisions affect consumer choices and marketplace through economic analysis and models. Explored the pros and cons of certain policies, such as fossil fuel regulation, in fiscal terms and equity terms.
I learned a great deal regarding phenomena and issues vis-à-vis public finance such as externalities and taxation.
The only reason I don't *not* recommend it is that it's easy.
interesting class, and it's very practical the HW will always be about the practical ideas and calculations that will help you understand the material, the HW are not heavy, and are pretty straight forward. he always explains the calculation and ideas in class.
Only recommend for the easy A. Didn't learn too much, and you can just read about public econ if you wanna actually learn.
