期刊简介

The Journal of Public Economic Theory is dedicated to the publication of outstanding theoretical work in all areas of public finance. JPET judges the quality of submissions on the basis of their creativity and rigor and therefore imposes neither upper nor lower bound on the complexity of the techniques employed. Subjects which are central to the focus of JPET include but are not limited to: public goods, local public goods, club economies, externalities, taxation, growth, public choice, social and public decision making, voting, market failure, regulation, project evaluation, equity, and political systems. Examples of theoretical approaches that JPET is especially interested in encouraging include general equilibrium theory, game theory, evolution, experimentation, control theory and dynamics, simulation, axiomatic characterization, and first order and comparative static methods. JPET is devoted mainly to the publication of original research, but will also consider short notes, comments, survey papers, retrospectives, and exposita.
