Book Synopsis

"Originally published in 1980 by McGraw-Hill"--Title page verso.



Trade Review
"This classic volume by two of the pioneers of modern public economics remains an essential reference for students of the field. The key theoretical results discussed in this volume—a number of which were discovered by the authors themselves—have stood the test of time and continue to be taught in public economics courses around the world, including my own course at Harvard."—Raj Chetty, Harvard University
"Lectures on Public Economics remains the most comprehensive and deepest textbook on the subject. The discussions presented here offer very insightful views on the limits of tax theory analysis that cannot be found in pure research articles, and help guide students who want to carry out research of their own."—Emmanuel Saez, University of California, Berkeley
"There is no other general textbook on public economics that comes close to the achievement of Atkinson and Stiglitz. The organization of the book, its level of analysis, and the clarity of the exposition are just right for graduate and advanced undergraduate students."—Frank Cowell, London School of Economics
