The composition of government expenditure varies considerably across countries. The aim of this book is to explore the choice of expenditure using a range of modelling approaches.

‘. . . this book provides very useful groundwork for modelling the composition of government spending. Scholars with a desire to explore and explain the future of public finances will find this a helpful launching pad.’
