Outline (in English)

Local public finance, as the name suggests, is a field of study that discusses issues of local government tax and spending. This course sets the following two themes, which are central to understanding of local public finance. The first one is the relationship between a central government’s budget and a local government’s budget, so called “intergovernmental financial relations.” The second one is how to determine a local government’s budget given preference and activities of its residents. There have been many conflicts between central government and local governments over taxing and spending. What kind of conflicts are there and how have they resolved these conflicts? How is local government tax and spending policy determined in the political process? Students will investigate these questions by looking at Japan and other countries’ historical experiences. Through this course, students will be able to analyze issues related to local public finance both theoretically and empirically. Perspectives you obtain in this course will help you analyze problems related to local public finance, be as a resident, employee, or a civil servant.
