二、介紹公共選擇理論（這決定政府支出的規模和類別）。說明一些投票設計「反應民意」的程度。

This course takes government expenditure as the subject, and analyzes the appropriateness of government intervention in economic activities from the perspective of economic efficiency and social justice (that is, the actual analysis and standard analysis that includes financial expenditure). Course content includes:
1. The appropriateness of the reasons and content of the government providing public finance. Treatment of externalities (including global externalities, such as the establishment of carbon dioxide trading markets and its role). Explain the reasons for the emergence of utilities (in terms of economics) and management models (different from Europe and the United States and the United Kingdom).
2. Introduction to public selection theory (this determines the size and category of government expenditure). Explain the extent to which some voting designs “respond to public opinion”.
3. Introduction to fair views (efficacy theory, Rawles' righteousness, Nozick's go-to-government theory, and social stability theory).
This introduces the measures and problems of reducing uneven distribution of income currently adopted by the Taiwan government.
4. Analyze the reasons and problems that arise from our government’s strengthening and promoting the social security system (national health insurance and national pension). The course lectures focus on current and institutional thinking, and there are few mathematical and graphical analysis.
