This book presents a unique collection of contributions on modern topics in applied public economics, written by leading experts in the respective disciplines and their intersections from cultural economics to public choice. It features contributions on fundamental, methodological, and empirical issues regarding the role and effects of public intervention in a broad range of fields, such as cultural heritage, creative industries, regulation, public procurement, corruption, tax evasion, health economics, and public goods. The book was written in honor of Ilde Rizzo, on the occasion of her retirement, for her many contributions to applied public economics. Given its scope, it will appeal to researchers and PhD students who are interested in the latest developments in cultural and public economics.
