Fiscal
Federalism
Offered during the winter term
9 units (3-0-6)
In the United States, as in many other countries, taxes are
collected and benefits are provided by federal, state, and local
governments. Because politicians like to take credit for benefits
but avoid blame for taxes, fiscal relations between levels of
government are an ongoing source of controversy and confusion. This
course covers the major budgetary problems that currently face
state, local, and federal governments. Specific topics will include
intergovernmental revenue flows, the municipal bond market, and
policy mandates. Grades only.
