《公共部门经济学》(双语教学)课程教学大纲

《公共部门经济学》(双语教学)课程教学大纲Chapter 1 Individuals and GovernmentSUMMARY:Economics of the Public Sector is the field of economics that studies government activities. Modern Economics of the Public Sector emphasizes the relationships between citizens and government. This chapter discusses some issues as follows: individual, society and government; the allocation of resources between government and private sector; the mixed economy, market and politics; government expenditures in the United States.1. Individuals, Society and Governmenta. Public finance is the field of economics that studies government activitiesand the alternative means of financing government expenditures.b. Governments are organizations formed to exercise authority over the actionsof persons who live together in a society and to provide and finance essential services.c. Political Institutions are rules and generally accepted procedures thatevolve for determining what government does and how government outlays are financedd. Examples of Political Institutions:Majority rule; Representative government2. The Allocation between Private and Government Resourcesa. Private:b. Government:c. A Production-Possibility Frontierd. Distribution of Government Goods and Services3. The Mixed Economy: Markets and Politicsa. Pure Market Economyb. Mixed Economy4. Government Expenditures in the United Statesa. Government purchasesb. Government Transfer Paymentsc. Structure of Federal Government Expendituresd. The Structure of State and Local Government Expenditures in the UnitedStates5. Financing Government Expenditures in the USa. Taxes:b. State Budget Crunch of 2002c. Causesa)Cuts in taxes on business and individuals in the 1990sb)No sales tax collections on servicesc)Growth in costs of Medicaidd. Implications of a Graying America Social Securitya) In 2008 baby-boomers start to retire and collectb)The ratio of workers to retiree fallse. MedicareHealth care inflation is substantially higher than overall inflationf. MedicaidIncreased use of long-term care for baby-boomers6. How Much Government is Enough?The question of how much government is enough is an important one in any society. It is the tradeoff between public and private goods. When government gets bigger, its increased involvement comes at the expense of less private consumption.Questions for review:1. How does the mechanism for distributing and rationing most government services differ from that for distributing goods through markets?2. What is a production-possibility curve? Show how such a curve can be used to explain how private goods and services must be sacrificed to obtain government goods and services.3. Discuss the trends in government expenditures and outlays as a percentage of GDP.Chapter 2 Efficiency, Markets, and GovernmentsSUMMARY:Resources are efficiently allocated when the well-being of any one person cannot be increased without harming another. This condition is attained when all goods are consumed over any period up to the point at which the marginal social benefit of each good equals its marginal social cost. When prices in competitive markets reflect marginal social costs and benefits, market exchange achieves efficiency. Individuals opposing actions that improve efficiency act rationally. They are simply better of with a larger share of a smaller pie. To predict outcomes any political process, it is necessary to know the benefits of any changes proposed, to whom they accrue, and what changes in the distribution of income result.1. Positive and Normative EconomicsPositive Economics explains “what is,” without making judgments about the appropriateness of “what is.”Normative Economics: designed to formulate recommendations about what “should be.”2. Normative Evaluation of Resource Use: The Efficiency Criteriona. Pareto Optimalityb. Marginal Conditions for EfficiencyTotal Social Benefit; Total Social CostNet Benefit = TSB – TSCMaximum Net Benefit occurs where MSB = MSC3. Conditions under which the Market is Pareto Optimala. A perfectly competitive market system exists if:a) All productive resources are privately owned.b) All transactions take place in markets, and in each separate marketmany competing sellers offer a standardized product to many competingbuyers.c) Economic power is dispersed in the sense that no buyers or sellers alonecan influence prices.d) All relevant information is freely available to buyers and sellers.e) Resources are mobile and may be freely employed in any enterprise.b. If These Conditions are MetP = MPB = MSB and P = MPC = MSCSo P = MSB = MSCc. When Does Market Interaction Fail to Achieve Efficiency?4. Market Failure: A Preview of the Basis for Government Activitya. Government intervention may be warranted if a market exhibits:Monopoly power by one supplierEffects of market transactions on third partiesLack of a market for a good where MSB>MSC (i.e. a public good)Incomplete information about goods being soldAn unstable marketb. The Tax System and the Birth RateFamilies with children pay less tax than families without children: personal exemption; child tax credit.Historical data shows that an increase in the real value of the personal exemption is associated with increases in the birth rate.5. Equity vs. EfficiencyHorizontal equityVertical equity6. Positive Analysis on Trade-off Between Equity and Efficiencya. Introductionb. Compensation Criteriac. International View: Agricultural Subsidies, International TradeRestrictions and Global EfficiencyMany nations subsidize farmers with: Production subsidies; Export subsidies; Import constraints.This results in reduced agricultural efficiency.Since WTO agreements, such subsidies and import constraints have been reduced.Questions for review:1. How does trading improve efficiency? Why are trades that apparently providemutual gains to those involved not undertaken?2. Show how equating the total social benefit of a good with its total social cost will result in more than the efficient output of the good.3. Efficiency can correspond to more than one distribution of well-being. Can the efficiency criterion be used to rank one distribution over another?Chapter 3 Externalities and Government PolicySUMMARY:Externality are costs or benefits of market transactions not reflected in prices. They are a dominant form of market failure to achieve efficiency in industrial economies. When the marginal external cost or benefit is priced so that buyers and sellers consider it in their decisions, an externality is internalized. To internalize an externality, the parties involved must be identified and the marginal external cost or benefit must be measured.The Coase theorem shows that, government assignment of rights to resource use, along with facilitation of free exchange of those rights, achieves efficiency, independent of which party is granted the right. When larger numbers of individuals are involved, a solution will require collective action to internalize the externality. Among the techniques used for this are corrective taxes and subsidies, regulations, and the establishment of standards.1. Externalitiesa. Externalities are costs or benefits of market transactions not reflectedin prices.Negative externalities are costs to third parties.Positive externalities are benefits to third parties .b. Externalities and EfficiencySocial CostsMarket equilibrium conditionsEfficiency Requirementsc. Positive externalitiesSocial Benefit2. Internalization of ExternalitiesAn externality can be internalized under policies that force market participants to account for the costs of benefits of their actions.a. Corrective Taxes to Negative ExternalitiesThe tax revenue is sufficient to pay costs to third parties.Socially optimal levels of production are achieved.b. Using a Corrective TaxThe greenhouse effect and a “Carbon Tax”c. Theory of the Second Bestd. A Polluting Monopoliste. Corrective Subsidies3. Coase's Theorema. The Definition and Significance of Co ase’s TheoremThe efficient mix of output will result simply as a consequence of the establishment of exchangeable property rights.It makes no difference which party is assigned the right to use a resource.If the transactions costs of exchanging the rights are zero, the efficientmix of outputs among competing uses of the resource will emerge.b. Limitations of Coase’s TheoremTransactions costs are not zero in many situations.However you allocate the property rights, the distribution of income isaffected.c. Application of Coase's TheoremThe Clean Air Act of 1990 allows for the sale of the "right to pollute."Firms face a tradeoff when they pollute. If they pollute, they forgo theright to sell their emission permits to others.In markets for electricity, Clean Air Act has motivated firms to shift tonatural gas and away from coal as a means of producing electricity.4. Recyclinga) Collecting waste for recycling costs three times as much as collectingit for disposal.b) Rural land is inexpensive.c) Recycling paper creates more water pollution and does not “save” trees;it simply reduces the number that are planted.5. Regulatory SolutionsInstead of using market forces to force firms to internalize externalities,we can use emission standards and apply these to all market players.a. Markets for Pollution Rightsb. Global Externalities:c. Costs and Benefits to the EPAQuestions for review:1. Explain why externalities prevent the attainment of efficiency when goodsare traded in competitive markets.2. How can a corrective tax adjust costs to reflect externalities? What effectswill a corrective tax have on prices, output, and pollution?3. Under what conditions are externalities likely to be internalized withoutthe necessity of government intervention?Chapter 4 Public GoodsSUMMARY:A pure public good is one that is consumed by all members of a community as soon as it is produced for any one member. Its benefits are nonrival and nonexcludable to consumers. Efficiency requires that the production of pure public goods be undertaken to the point where the sum of marginal private benefits is exactly equal to the marginal social cost of production.Ideally, an efficient output of a pure public good could be achieved if each person contributed an amount equal to the marginal benefits received per unit of a public good. This is known as the Lindahl equilibrium. However, problems in inducing households to reveal their true preferences for public goods resulting from free-rider effects make this solution difficult to implement.1. Public Goodsa. Public Goods are goods for which exclusion is impossible.b. Characteristics of Public GoodsNonexclusionNonrivalryc. Pure Public Goods and Pure Private GoodsPure Public Good:.Pure Private Good:d. Marginal Costs for Provision of Public GoodsThe marginal cost of allowing another person to benefit from a pure publicgood is zero, while the marginal cost of providing a greater level ofpublic good is positive.2.

Price Excludable Public Goods vs Congestible Public Goodsa) Price Excludable Public Goods (Excludability, but no rivalry)b) Congestible Public Goods (Rivalry but no excludability)b. Education as a Public Gooda) External benefits:It helps us live in a civil society.It has a “socializing ” function.It teaches the importance of following rules, obeying orders, and workingtogether.It provides students with basic skills like punctuality and the abilityto follow directions that increase their productivity as workers.It helps students identify their abilities and choose appropriateoccupations, thereby increasing productivity levels for a nation.b) Education as a Private GoodEducation has characteristics of a private good:3. Demand For a Pure Public GoodDecisions of Market demand for a Pure Private GoodEfficient Output of a Pure Public GoodLindahl Pricing: Everyone in a group cooperates and participants each pay their marginal benefit.Lindahl Equilibrium4. Free-riderFree-rider occurs when people are not honest in stating their Marginal Benefit, because if they understate it, they can get a slightly reduced level of the public good while paying nothing for it.5. Illustrating Voluntary Contributions to a Public Good: The Gulf WarUnder the premise that defeating Iraq in the Gulf War in 1990 was a public good to be consumed by the industrialized economies and Arab nations, each nation was expected to contribute.6. National Defense and Homeland Securitya. Defenseb. Homeland SecurityThe new department merged several agencies from the departments of Justice,Transportation, Treasury, Agriculture, Energy, Health and Human Services,and Commerce.Questions for review:1. What are the essential differences between pure public goods and pure private goods?2. Although the marginal cost of producing a pure public good is always positive, some consumers can enjoy the benefits of pure public goods at zero marginal costs. Explain the apparent paradox, if there is one!3. How will shares in the finance of public goods vary among contributors ina model of voluntary cooperative supply of such goods?Chapter 5 Public Choice and the Political Process SUMMARY:A political equilibrium is an agreement on the level of production of one or more public goods, given a specified rule for making the public choice and the distribution of tax shares among individuals. Collective, or public, choices are agreements resulting in political equilibria on issues of common concern. Political equilibria are influenced by politicians and bureaucrats. When all voters have single-peaked preferences, parties will tend to move to the median position to win elections.When all voters do not vote, the median most-preferred outcome of all citizens could differ from the median most-preferred outcome of all voters. Logrolling is the explicit trading of votes on issues of great interest to voters. When two or more issues are voted on simultaneously, implicit logrolling can occur. Models of bureaucratic behavior presume that bureaucrats attempt to maximize the size of their budgets.1.

Bureaucracy and the Supply of Public OutputOfficials measure their power in terms of the size of their budgets, notthe efficiency of the outcomes they generate. This causes bureaucrats tohave a self-interest in inefficiently high levels of government spending.Questions for review:1. How does a person decide to vote on any issue that proposes to change the amount of public goods supplied by the government?2. Given tax shares, explain why only the median voter consumes his most-preferred quantity of a public good under majority rule.3. Under what conditions will the median peak correspond to an extreme outcome, such as no output of a good?4. What is logrolling? Under what conditions is logrolling likely to emerge? How can logrolling prevent the attainment of efficiency?A exercise of speech:Imitation of president or finance ministerChapter 6 Introduction to Government FinanceSUMMARY:Government finance transfers use of productive resources from individuals and business firms to the government. Taxes are the major method of government finance. The method of government finance used can have an impact on political and market equilibria and on the efficiency with which resources are employed in the private sector.A basic problem in government finance is the distribution of the costs of financing public goods among citizens. No one best way of accomplishing this exists that will satisfy all citizens. In addition to affecting the political equilibrium, the method of government finance chosen often has significant and complicated effects on the private choices made by citizens.1.

LotteriesState LotteriesState Lotteries account for more than 3% of state revenues.Lotteries pay out a smaller portion of revenue to winners than other forms of gaming (horse racing, casinos, etc.).Questions for review:1. How does government finance affect both political and market equilibria?2. What is the difference between horizontal equity and vertical equity?3. How can inflation be viewed as a form of taxation?4. What criteria can be used to price the output of government enterprises?Chapter 7 Taxation, Prices, Efficiency, and the Distributionof IncomeSUMMARY:Taxes can affect prices of outputs and inputs, causing losses in efficiency by preventing prices from accurately reflecting social costs and benefits of goods and services. Price-distorting taxes induce individuals to take actions with lower social value than they would choose if no such tax existed. Lump-sum taxes result only in income or wealth reductions; they do not cause losses in the efficiency with which private resources are used.The burden of paying a tax can be shifted from people who are liable for the tax to other groups. This occurs when prices change as a result of a tax. A multimarket analysis of incidence considers the effect of tax-induced resource flows on the prices of inputs and outputs in markets other than those directly taxed. Data on income shares by income class can be tabulated with a Lorenz curve, which plots the percentage of households ranked according to income against their share of income.1. Lump-Sum TaxesA Lump-sum tax is a fixed tax that is owed by everyone and is not subject toanything taxpayers can change.It is independent of income, consumption, or wealth.An example is a Head Tax, which is constant for everyone.Inefficiency in Taxation and the Lump-Sum Tax2. Price -Distorted Taxesa. Individual Excess Burden of a TaxThe individual excess burden of a tax is the loss in well-being when ataxpayer pays taxes under a price-distorting tax instead of under alump-sum tax.b. Community Charges in the U.K.The Thatcher government replaced local property taxes with a form oflump-sum tax called “the community charge.’’unfairnessc.

The Lorenz CurveThe Lorenz Curve maps the cumulative percentage of households against their cumulative percentage of income.The Gini CoefficientQuestions for review:1. Why are most taxes likely to cause losses in efficiency? Be sure to relate your answer to the impact of taxes on prices.2. Why should the excess burden of taxation be added to revenue collected from taxes in order to accurately measure the opportunity costs of government-supplied goods and services?3. Under what circumstances does a single-market analysis of tax incidence givea good approximation of the multimarket incidence?4. What is a Gini coefficient? How can this coefficient be used to determine the impact of taxes on income distribution?Chapter 8 Budget Balance and Government DebtSUMMARY:A budget deficit or surplus reflects an imbalance between expenditures and revenues. Deficits increase the federal debt and also can contribute to higher market interest rates and increased inflation. Borrowing to finance public expenditures postpones the tax burden to the future. The federal debt is largely internal in the sense that it is owed mainly to U.S. citizens and institutions. Repayment of the federal debt does not imply a significant drain of either capital or productive opportunities out of the nation.State and local debt holdings are likely to be more external to the issuing jurisdiction than are federal debt holdings, implying that repayment of such debt might withdraw significant amounts of resources to other jurisdiction. The burden of the government debt can be defined as the decrease in well-being of citizens who are taxed to pay off the principal and interest on past debt.1.

What is the significance of the distinction between internal debt and external debt?3. In what sense does repayment of the federal debt constitute a redistribution of income among citizens?4. How can deficit finance influence political equilibrium? Has deficit finance been associated with increased federal investment in the United States?Chapter 9 The Theory of Income TaxationSUMMARY:Income is viewed by many as an appropriate index of ability to pay taxes. For tax purposes, income is usually measured as an annual flow of earnings. The economist’s definition of income is, however, an annual accretion of purchasing power. This is known as comprehensive income and is measured as the sum of annual consumption and increased net worth.A general tax on comprehensive income would tax all income at the same rate regardless of its source or use. The tax on comprehensive income causes wages, as seen by employers and employees, to diverge. This results in an efficiency loss in labor markets. Taxation of interest income causes the interest rate paid by investors to diverge from that received by savers. The result is a loss in efficiency in markets for loanable funds used to finance investment and accumulation of assets.1. Income Taxesintroduced as an emergency measure during the U.S. Civil War.。

1.举例说明资源配置效率的实现条件。 2.何谓市场失灵?政府经济活动的范围包括哪些? 3.公共部门担负着哪些经济职能?
公共部门经济学
只要某一个人的效用函数(或某一 厂商的生产函数)所包含的变量是 在另一个人(或厂商)的控制之下, 就存在有外部效应。
2.外部效应 的存在
某些 教科书
当一种经济交易的结果对除交易双方 之外的第三者发生了影响,而其又未 参与该项交易的任何决策时,即存在 有外部效应。
简言之
外部效应就是未在价格中得以反映 的经济交易成本或效益。

1.3 公共部门的经济职能
1.3.2 调节分配职能
在以市场为资源配置主体的经济社会中,只有在市场失灵的 领域,政府部门的介入才是必要的。政府的介入,又是以政府 的收支为基础的。政府的收支,就是政府的财政,即所谓公共 财政。所以,公共部门的经济职能,应以市场失灵为标准,从纠 正和克服市场失灵现象出发加以界定。
