This textbook introduces graduate and upper-division undergraduate students to the field of urban economics and fiscal policy, relying on a modern approach that integrates theoretical and empirical analysis. Based on material that Holger Sieg has taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Urban Economics and Fiscal Policy brings the most recent insights from the field into the classroom.Divided into short chapters, the book explores fiscal policies that directly shape economic issues in cities, such as city taxes, the provision of quality education, access to affordable housing, and protection from crime and natural hazards.

Throughout, the book pushes readers to think critically and immediately put what they are learning to use by applying cutting-edge theory to data.A much-needed resource for students and policymakers, Urban Economics and Fiscal Policy offers a unique approach to a vital and fast-growing area of economic study.Introduces advanced-undergraduate and graduate students to urban economicsPresents the latest theoretical and empirical researchApplies economic tools to real-world issues, including housing, labor, education, crime, and the environmentExplains and uses simple economic models and quantitative analysis
