As I said in the seminar today, there will be questions related to all themes - those covered by me and those covered Thor Olav and Diderik - at the exam.

I wanted to make this annoncement since some students asked me if I made the exam questions, I said yes - but afterwards I come to think that maybe the students interpreted this as only the topics I lectured over are relevant.  

We are a bit behind the plan.

I have decided to not talk about public expenditures and you do not have to read the literature that is under that heading.

Next lecture I will keep finish off the Stiglitz "new new.." paper.  I will illustrate the implications a non-linear income tax has for the provision of public good (Boadway Keen paper and the paper by Edwards Keen and Tuomala).  I will probably also start on the appendix in Brewer et al and finish that in the last lecture.  In that lecture I will - upon request - repeat or clarify things that we have gone through.

A file with solution to Problem 2 for the seminar 15 April is available in Fronter.

Contact students are Hero Ezat, hero-ezat@hotmail.com, and Ingvild Mageli, ingvild.mageli@gmail.com.
