Abstract This essay surveys some general features of continental public finance analysis, emphasizing its distinctiveness from Anglo-Saxon public economic theory. Starting from the cameralist origins of public finance, we examine the science-of-state approach, the catallactical approach to public finance associated with Knut Wicksel, the Italian fiscal scholarship, and the fiscal sociology. The purpose of this essay is to introduce the reader to a tradition in public finance analysis that, while having experienced a diminished presence in contemporary textbook treatments, nonetheless offers high potential value for fiscal scholarship.

Antonio De Viti de Marco is perhaps the most representative scholar at the origin of the Italian tradition in Public Finance, and his main work has been at the disposal of English-speaking economists since 1936 (De Viti de Marco 1936). However, at the time he was not particularly appreciated: his book had at the time one good and one bad review, but certainly left no mark on mainstream economic analysis. The fact is that De Viti's message was too far beyond the range of interests of Anglo-Saxon writers of the time.

AbstractThis article argues that political considerations, economic theory, attitudes toward public finance, and concerns about regional development all influenced contemporary responses to the Galway packet-boat contract of 1859–64. Though historians have conventionally depicted the dispute over the contract as an episode in Victorian high politics, it maintains that the controversy surrounding the agreement between the Galway Company and the state cannot be understood solely in terms of party manoeuvre at Westminster. In the context of the Union between Britain and Ireland, the Galway contract raised important questions about the role of the British government in fostering Irish economic development through public expenditure. Politicians and opinion-makers adopted a variety of ideologically informed positions when addressing this issue, resulting in diverse approaches to state intervention, often across party lines. While political calculation and pressure from interest groups certainly affected policy, the substantive debate on the contract helped to shape the late Victorian Irish policy of both British parties by clarifying contemporary ideas about the economic functions appropriate to the Union state.

Power Project

Atlantic salmon, smelt, alewives, shad, eastern brook trout, and introduced brown trout occur in waters that will be affected by the Passamaquoddy power project. The first four species are taken occasionally in herring weirs but total annual landed values did not exceed $6,000 in the period 1937 to 1956. Salmon and trout have high potential value for angling, subject to improvements in local river management.Construction of tidal power dams should overcome the present lack of typical estuarine conditions in the Passamaquoddy area and favour production of anadromous species. An improved sport fishery for sea-run trout could develop. Realization of the potential production of Atlantic salmon, alewives and shad, but possibly not sea-run trout, would depend on satisfactory access from the Bay of Fundy to the impounded areas.

Economic Thinking

AbstractEconomics has traditionally split consumers from producers by assigning them fixed roles. In the Internetworked economy as it is becoming, this is no longer true as value is increasinglyjointlycreated among individuals, as a function of theirco-creation experiences. We construct a framework that reconnects economics with value creation that goes beyond artifacts as the central unit of analysis, towardplatforms of engagementsof which artifacts themselves are only a part. Engagement platforms are now both the means and ends of value creation, and economic theory must take into account both the potential value generated to individuals through“production” experiences of co-creating artifacts(through co-production engagement platforms), as well asco-creating“consumption” experiences(through co-consumption engagement platforms). We show how starting with joint value creation re-shapes our thinking about the nature of “surplus,” expanding traditional economic thinking about supply and demand toward a more convergent space of markets shaped by co-creation experiences.

Compoundly weighted Voronoi diagram is difficult to construct because the bisector is fairly complex. In traditional algorithm, production process is always extremely complex and it is more difficult to graphic display because of the complex definition of mathematic formula. In this paper, discrete algorithms are used to construct compoundly weighted Voronoi diagrams. The algorithm can get over all kinds of shortcomings that we have just mentioned. So it is more useful and effective than the traditional algorithm. The results show that the algorithm is both simple and useful, and it is of high potential value in practice.

The purpose of this article is that discuss the reasons of European debt crisis. Every European country adopts austerity policy, which cannot solve government debt problems and further lead to economic exacerbation and continuous recession, based on the neoclassical economic theory. In order to realize the root of European debt crisis, this article adopts the reaseach method of fiscal sociology. In this study, we think that the government debt problem is the result of economic profits conflict based on the Fiscal Sociology. The economic profits conflict of investment, consumption, international business and labor market will have influence on the government’s revenue and expenditure. Furthermore, the root of the European debt crisis is the uneven income distribution by financialization and neoliberalism.
