Summary

Description

Originally published in 1971, this book uses the famous Tinbergen/Theil approach to the theory of economic policy, demonstrating the place of fiscal policy in a realistic policy context. The volume marries analytical developments in macroeconomics to the influence on the economy of the system of public finance. Attention is given to the problem co-ordinating fiscal policy with other policy instruments, notably monetary policy. A final chapter discusses the problems encountered in applying fiscal policy models to real situations.

Critic Reviews

Original Review of The Economic Theory of Fiscal Policy:

‘Professor Peacock and Dr. Shaw not only have succeeded in setting out the basic elements of the theory of fiscal policy with great clarity but have also incorporated a number of the important post-Keynesian developments in macroeconomic theory.’ A. B. Atkinson, The Economic Journal, Vol 82, Issue 325 (1972).
