Описание: The social returns of investment in water, roads, and railways are apparent in the long run, but this distant horizon poses problems to governments and investors. This volume explores the different historical paths to solving the problem of infrastructure finance in Europe, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the end of the 20th century.
The subnational dimension of infrastructure has emerged as one of the greatest challenges in contemporary public finance policy and management. Ensuring the efficient provision of infrastructure represents a challenge for all countries irrespective of their level of centralization or decentralization. This book proposes an innovative approach for the strengthening of decentralized public investment and infrastructure management.
Decentralization and Infrastructure in the Global Economy: From Gaps to Solutions covers the most important aspects of infrastructure investment in a decentralized setting. It discusses infrastructure gaps and the quality of subnational spending; how functional responsibilities, financing and equalization can be designed; sector-specific arrangements in high expenditure areas, such as health, education and roads; key steps of the public investment cycle and management; and analyses the political economy and corruption challenges that typically accompany decentralized infrastructure projects.
This book challenges some of the well-accepted principles of intergovernmental fiscal relations and will be useful to researchers and practitioners of public finance policy and management.

During the last about twenty years, public-private partnerships (PPPs) gained more and more attention at the global scale. Once a particular financial scheme which helped funding infrastructure development while putting public debt outside of the financial statements, nowadays PPPs provide a fundamental template for the coordination of intellectual, organizational, and financial resources for the delivery of public services and the implementation of public programs. Research on PPPs has focused on various aspects from the design of PPP contracts, to the identification of critical success factors, and to the determinants of PPP performance. Yet, the political nature of PPPs has not been fully appreciated. Because of the intertwining of public and private interests, the design and management of PPP projects are exposed to various sources of influence from stakeholders. Within such scenario, policy-makers, public managers and professionals need to be sensitive to features of the political and institutional context where PPPs are implemented. This book aims to provide the readers with an analytical framework for explaining the role of politics in the design and management of PPPs. Drawing from various case studies – especially including those based in countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East where currently PPPs are on the rise – this book will offer to students, academics, policy-makers and practitioners a guide to design and manage PPP projects while being attentive to the influences that originate from the political and institutional context.

Описание:
This book is based on lectures conducted for two classes at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University: A Public Finance Seminar for PhD students in public administration and State and Local Public Finance for master's students in public administration.
Topics covered include the role of voters in a federal system, the sorting of different households into different communities, the determinants of public service costs, the property tax and other sources of local (and state) revenue, fiscal aspects of economic development, and intergovernmental aid (especially for education).
The notes for the Ph.D. class also cover several more advanced topics, such as the estimation of education production and cost functions, the capitalization of school quality into house values, and tax competition among jurisdictions. The focus in these notes is on the highly decentralized federal system in the United States, but many of the principles and much of the behavioral analysis in the class apply to other countries as well.
These notes draw on Professor Yinger's extensive teaching experience and publication record in state and local public finance. They should prove useful to many teachers, scholars, and students who find topics in state and local public finance that they wish to pursue.
