Description
Understanding how public services are funded has become increasingly important in recent years. In the UK alone, an estimated £150 billion is distributed annually using formulae for services such as healthcare, local government and higher education.
This comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of funding public services using formulae covers the philosophy, design and economic consequences behind this approach. Written by a leading expert in the field, the book draws on empirical evidence from around the world to provide valuable insights for those involved in policy-making.
