Public Finance and Green Growth

Dear Colleagues,

In the wake of the coronavirus crisis, the world is now facing environmental damage. To prevent this, many measures should be taken at all levels of government. In addition, fiscal policy instruments must play a key role in supporting green investment and growth. The main role of fiscal policy is to influence the economy through government spending and taxation. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on both theoretical and empirical analysis of public finance and green growth in the context of sustainable development.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together theoretical, overview and empirical concepts that help to define the perspective of public finance and green growth based on an integrated set of economic, social, environmental and ethical rights-based principles. The presented findings will help practitioners and scholars to better understand the relationship between public finance and green growth, with a focus on fiscal reforms for sustainability. Empirical contributions are therefore encouraged, covering a wide range of aspects of tax policy and the development of a sustainable economy in the form of country studies or international comparisons. In addition, this Special issue will provide a new perspective on trends in public finance and green growth in a deteriorating global economic environment.
