Course Content

This course will provide a graduate level overview of public economics. We will mainly cover taxation, social security, government spending and public goods. It is hard to cover all important public economies subjects in one semester, so this class will be more like a small summary of a graduate level public economics. Most of the papers will be based on US economy but we can have some arguments in class on the specific Turkish cases.
