Marginal cost of public funds : ウィキペディア英語版 | Marginal cost of public funds The marginal cost of public funds (MCF) is a concept in public finance which measures the loss incurred by society in raising additional revenues to finance government spending due to the distortion of resource allocation caused by taxation.〔Dahlby, B. (2008). ''The Marginal Cost of Public Funds: Theory and Application''. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, p. 1.〕 Formally, it is defined as the ratio of the marginal value of a monetary unit raised by the government and the value of that marginal private monetary unit. The applications of the marginal cost of public funds include the Samuelson condition for the optimal provision of public goods and the optimal corrective taxation of externalities in public economic theory, the determination of tax-smoothing policy rules in normative public debt analysis and social cost-benefit analysis common in practical policy analysis. ==History== The initial statement of the MCF problem is generally attributed to Pigou (1947), who stressed the application of the cost-benefit rule to the financing of public spending.〔Pigou, A.C. (1948). ''A Study in Public Finance''. 3rd ed. London: Macmillan.〕 Later, the modification of the Samuelson rule for the optimal provision of public services through the inclusion of a measure of the MCF performed by Stiglitz and Dasgupta (1971), Diamond and Mirrlees (1971) and Atkinson and Stern (1974) proved to be a theoretical milestone.〔Stiglitz, J.E., Dasgupta, P. (1971). Differential Taxation, Public Goods, and Economic Efficiency. ''Review of Economic Studies'', 38(2), pp. 151-174.〕 Complementary, Harberger's (1964, 1971) contributions on the issue of excess burden measurement further influenced the development of the MCF concept, though he focused on the average excess burden (AEB) rather than on the MEB. The first attempt at measuring the MEB is commonly attributed to Campbell (1975).〔Campbell, H.F. (1975). Deadweight Loss and Commodity Taxation in Canada. ''Canadian Journal of Economics'', 8(3), pp. 441-447.〕 Measurement of the MCF, however, was first attempted by Browning (1976), although the inclusion of "substitution effects" impairs his exercise.〔Browning, E.K. (1976). The Marginal Cost of Public Funds. ''Journal of Political Economy''. 84(2), pp. 283-298.〕
