Motivation 3: Methodology Modern public economics tightly integrates theory with empirical evidence to derive quantitative predictions about policy What is the optimal income tax rate? What is the optimal unemployment benefit level? Combining applied theory and evidence is a useful skill set that is at the frontier of many fields of economics Public Economics Lectures () Part 1: Introduction 6 / 28
Methodological Themes 1 Micro-based empirics but both micro and macro theory 2 Two styles of work: structural and reduced-form 3 Neoclassical, but growing interest in implications of behavioral econ for public policy 4 Focus primarily on developed countries because of data availability, but growing interest in developing countries 5 Long run focus in theory: focus on ideal design of systems for long run welfare but short-run focus in empirics 6 Two approaches to research: bringing in new ideas from other fields vs. innovating within public economics Public Economics Lectures () Part 1: Introduction 7 / 28
