The aim of the course is, in general, to provide students with the analytical tools to understand the fundamental characteristics of public policies and modern tax systems, with particular regard to the process of evaluating public choices and the link between market integration and national tax policy choices. Particular importance will be devoted to the effects of international tax competition in terms of the applicability of traditional tax principles and criteria. Since ample space will also be given to the discussion of the fundamental issues of public finance also in the supranational sphere, the student will have to demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate the choices and effects of national tax policies in increasingly interconnected markets.
