This allows the public to see where their taxes are being spent and the way it is addressing the short / long-term issues. (Ekstedt, 2012) (Holzer, 2011)
Public choice and the political processes

The public has a choice as to who they want to represent them and the way various services will be provided to them. This means that they will select individuals who are closely aligned with these beliefs and can meet their larger objectives. The political process will involve having an open discussion of how different services should be provided and the way numerous resources will be allocated. This allows the public to determine if a particular candidate will meet their objectives and if they can provide them with the resources they require in meeting these goals. (Ekstedt, 2012) (Holzer, 2011)

Public Finance and Legislative Procedures: Tax Incidence and Legal Liability
Why is the incidence of a tax independent of legal liability for the tax?

The incidence of a tax measures the distribution of the tax burden among producers and consumers. The party that remits the tax, however, is independent from whoever ends up bearing the tax burden in the long run. This is because the inelasticity of the demand and supply of a good determines the portion of tax that will be paid (Hyman, 2011). The party that may be legally liable to pay a tax may be different from the party that ends up bearing the tax burden because when a tax is imposed on a good, it affects the supply and demand of that particular good, which changes the equilibrium prices. These changes in prices are the ones responsible for the shifting of the tax burden away from the person…...

Public Finance and Legislative Procedures: The Social Security etirement System
Can the Social Security etirement System be declared bankrupt?

When Franklin D. oosevelt approved the Social Security Act in 1935, he intended to rid American citizens of the burden of catastrophic wage loss that would arise from the disability, death or retirement of a member. The privatization of social security, however, allows workers to handle their retirement money via personal accounts. In essence, the underlying notion is that retirees are given the liberty to put their retirement money into the financial markets, which will earn them higher returns than with government invested funds. Private pension sponsorship significantly reduces the amount of retiree incomes that Security Systems receive (Schieber, 2012).

It is, however, impossible for Social Security to go bankrupt. This idea mostly arises from a major misconception about how Social Security etirement Systems work. Each person contributing taxes to Social Security does not…...

The inability of the general population to govern themselves have relegated this group to the subjection of the government and those who have the power in society. It is blaringly obvious that people in general have very little competence when managing finance and public financing operations should only be performed by those who are in the elite public arena and have been educated to do the right thing. The purpose of this essay is to discuss and highlight the major principles of public finance.

Tax Policy

The stability and prosperity of Botswana is reflected in a tax regime which is built to raise revenue to fund necessary government service but encourages economic freedom and dynamic free markets. Zimbabwe presents a complex and confiscatory system which discourages entrepreneurial activity and wealth accumulation. Tax structures must provide transparency, low rates, as broad a base as possible, and a configuration which allows expansion of individual investment and savings. The goal of lower income African nations should be to build a flat rate system which strives to reduce the "total tax burden as a percentage of total domestic income" (Heritage.org. About. 2012. PP. 1-2) to a level which balances private investment with government spending needs on infrastructure.

Looking at Botswana and Zimbabwe, the former provides top income and corporate tax rates of 25% and a low value added tax of 12%; equally important the resident and non-resident individual and corporate entity are treated as equals under the tax code (Deloitte.com. Botswana. 2012. PP. 1-2). Zimbabwe has since the collapse of their state currency impacted meaningful change on their tax rate regime however, the rates are still significantly higher than Botswana, with the top income tax rate of 35%, corporate rate of 25%, and VAT of 15% (Deloitte.com. Zimbabwe. 2012. PP. 1-2). Additionally there is opaqueness in the tax code on foreign investment and non-resident incomes. Interesting to note also that the hyperinflation of the 00's under Mugabe

Finance in Public Administration
One of the important components towards the successful delivery of services to the public is management of financial resources. Financial management in public administration basically entails budgeting as well as budget execution, monitoring, and accounting with respect to planning and programming of public administration. In essence, public finance administration basically entails raising revenue from the public, allocation of public funds and other financial resources, and managing public assets. These processes are usually carried out to help ensure that the government has adequate money to finance all its activities. In this regard, proper financial management in public administration is crucial towards preventing misuse of public money or resources as well as ensuring compliance with the relevant financial regulations. This paper examines finance in public administration in relation to the budgeting process and budget decision-making based on the fundamental principles of public finance.

Law Enforcement and the Budget The most important stakeholders in the public finance of law enforcement organizations are the tax payers. Without taxes collected, the government could not afford to fund organizations. Municipal taxes, bonds, grants and more all go to fund law enforcement organizations. State and local taxes pay salaries and pensions for retiring officers, and yet still many municipal, state and federal level law enforcement agencies are required to borrow in order to meet structural requirements. Many cities run a continual budgetary deficit, with mounting debts putting pensions at risk. This is common across America with states like Kentucky and Illinois essentially sitting on a time bomb of debt. This impacts the other stakeholders—the workers in the law enforcement agencies, as well as the public, who are served by the law enforcement workers and the elected officials who must oversee the plans for allocating sources for budgetary purposes.

PPP
One of the newer concepts in public policy is the idea of the public-private partnership, or PPP. Essentially, PPPs are when the government works with private enterprise on a project. Public projects tend to be those that benefit society as a whole, and traditionally governments as representatives of the people have been the drivers of such projects. Private enterprise has often specifically avoided many types of projects because of the financial or operational risk involved. A public-private partnership is a form of development where government and private enterprise share the risk and capital expenditure in a project. The split will be different for every project, but it often involves the government taking on some risk in order to facilitate the project moving forward, on the principle that the project moving forward is in the best interests of the general public. In some instances, the government utilizes public-private partnerships to facilitate…...

Public Finance
Philosophy of public finance

All states must raise some sort of revenue to pay for the basic services it must offer to protect its citizens and provide them with needed services. The degree to which the state should act in such a supportive fashion may vary depending on the perspective of the individual but the notion that some state financing is needed for a nation to be functional is difficult to debate. Taxation is one of the primary methods through which the state extracts revenue. Although there are many different competing philosophies about the purpose of government financing, most would agree that the government can serve as an engine of growth if it allocates its assets in an appropriate manner.

One of the most influential texts defining a philosophy of public financing was that of ichard Musgrave's The Theory of Public Finance. Musgrave's (1959) text stressed that "normative goals of efficiency,…...

The Apparent Problem/The Facts

Unemployment insurance is compensation that is provided to workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own. Unemployment provides compensation for a specific amount of time, or until a worker finds a new job. Regular unemployment provides benefits for up to 26 weeks, based on the number of weeks that the unemployed person worked in his or her claim year (Doyle, 2011).

Extended unemployment benefits provide compensation for a longer period of time, and are available for workers when they have exhausted regular state unemployment benefits during periods of high unemployment. In addition, the unemployed may…...

Finance
Any Asset Pricing Theory forms the basic foundation of finance theory, in that it deals with the value of any asset under unknown or uncertain circumstances. The relationship between an asset and its price is the mainstay of the asset pricing theory: the lower the price, the poorer the expected performance. The Arbitrage Pricing Theory derives from this theory. The basic idea in the APT theory is that any sort of risk in asset returns must not affect the pricing of the asset in any way; it must depend on the covariance of assets with the risk factors. (Bayesian Approach of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory) The APT originated from Stephen oss, 1976-1978. oss had used a statistical procedure for assets returns, with the belief that there are in existence no arbitrage probabilities. The APT must of necessity involve a lot of risk taking processes, (Definition of Arbitrage Pricing Theory.)

Industrialization: China has undergone rapid industrialization since the 1980s, transforming its economy from agricultural to manufacturing-based. Zambia, on the other hand, remains heavily dependent on natural resource extraction, particularly copper mining, which exposes its economy to price fluctuations.
