Emphasizing policymaking and policy analysis, POLICY APPLICATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC FINANCE, 2E, International Edition uses a variety of applications to deliver modern treatment of everything from overviews and definitions for undergraduates, to mathematical derivations of advanced topics for advanced and graduate-level courses. The text evenly addresses local, state, and federal issues, and shows students how to use fiscal federalism as a framework for analysis. Anderson also demonstrates the effects of international concerns on U.S. public policy, lacing the text with topical discussions on entities and issues that greatly affect the entire world, such as the IMF, World Bank, and Kyoto Protocol.
Public Finance provides a modern treatment of public finance principles with an emphasis on policymaking and policy analysis. Using a variety of applications in the context of fiscal federalism, the text evenly addresses local, state, and federal issues. At the same time, Anderson incorporates international issues, such as comparisons of the public sector in different countries as well as discussions of the IMF and World Bank.

Related to the earlier well-known ACT production system theory, this book's basic goal is to present evidence for the psychological reality of a production system model of mind. Distinguished from the original theory in three ways, this volume uses the rational analyses of Anderson (1990) to improve upon that theory and extend its scope. It also relates the theory to a great deal of new data on the performance and acquisition of cognitive skills. The new theory -- ACT-R -- involves a neurally plausible implementation of a production system architecture. Rational analysis is used to structure and parameterize the system to yield optimal information processing. The theory is applicable to a wide variety of research disciplines, including memory, problem solving, and skill acquisition. Using intelligent tutors, much of the data is concerned with the acquisition of cognitive skills. The book provides analyses of data sets describing the extended course of the acquisition of mathematical and computer programming skills.

Captain John Anderson served in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as ‘Pilot-Major’ between 1640 and 1643. This was his fourth voyage to the Indies and the only one he chose to record. His log gives great insight into the subject of European travel in Asia in the Early Modern Period.
