The Transformation of Public Economics Research: 1970-2000

Martin Feldstein

Scholarly Articles from Harvard University Department of Economics

Abstract: The nature and content of research and teaching in public economics have changed enormously during the past three decades. The field is more theoretically rigorous, more empirical, more focused on real policy issues, and more concerned with government spending as well as with taxation. For me, it has been an exciting time to be a public finance economist and to contribute to this intellectual transformation.
