Local Public Finance and Economics cover

Globalization and the information revolution have highlighted the catalytic role of local governments for improving economic and social outcomes at the local level as well as growing the national economy by enhancing international competitiveness. This comprehensive account of local public finance and economics brings together principles and better practices for improving quality and access of local public services provision. The volume covers assignment of responsibilities; jurisdictional design; local service delivery; local regulation; local self-financing options such as income, sales, property and environmental taxation, user charges and fees; infrastructure finance options; and higher order government financing of local governments. The treatment is non-technical and suitable for a wide variety of audiences including scholars, instructors, students, media, policy advisers and practitioners.

“Local Public Finance and Economics: An International Perspective is a welcome and valuable addition on the subject. A book of this kind has been long overdue. … The book makes an interesting reading and has the potential to be a benchmark on the subject. … In addition, students and academicians in general and economists and political scientists in particular will immensely benefit from the book authored.” (V. N. Alok, Indian Journal of Public Administration, Vol. 66 (3), 2020)
