Public Economics

Lecture 3 (20.10.2020): Mixed Economies. Economic role of the Government

In a market economy, most economic decisions are made by individual buyers and sellers, not by the government. Economists, however, identify six major functions of governments in market economies. Governments provide the legal and social framework, maintain competition, provide public goods and services, redistribute income, correct for externalities, and stabilize the economy.
