Our life is highly involved with public finance. We pay taxes and also receive services provided by the government and local authorities. In simple words, taxes are the income for the public finance, while providing the service to the public are the expenses to the public finance.
In this course, students will study DP1 and DP2.
This session is to establish the basic knowledge of Public Finance, and to develop your understanding about maintaining the sustainability of the public finance, by studying financial issues.
Besides, combine your study with Public FinanceⅡ, students can cultivate thinking skills. Public Finance I is more focusing on independent thinking, which includes personal tests, questions and answers, while Finance II is more targeting at team work including group research and discussions.
