In Japan, the total amount of public services (i.e., police, education, roads, water supply and sewerage systems, etc.) provided by the central government and the local governments accounts for more than 40% of the GDP: Gross Domestic Product (in comparison, drops below 40% in the United States, and below 60% in France). Public finance is an academic field which studies this “public economy”. This lecture is designed as the latter part of an introductory course to learn basic knowledge of public finance.
