Teaching at the basic level as well as on the financial concepts, financial events and institutions in the science of what is and is also a key issue in fiscal theory of public expenditure, which do not present a detailed financial mission to teach the basic level.

Public finance issues are central to economic and political discourse worldwide, as one of the primary functions of government is to generate resources from its people to spend money improving the lives of its people. However, while the concept of “money from the people, for the people” is quite simple conceptually, there is little agreement on how best to raise and spend public funds in practice. Thus, the primary course objective is to provide students with the tools, and the skills to use these tools, to understand the underlying concepts and practical tradeoffs entailed in public finance policy alternatives. This will prepare students to be informed consumers of public finance data, and thus, equip students to engage constructively in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of public finance policies.
