TAS-BEA200 Public Policy and Welfare shows how economic theory can be directly applied to explain the behaviour of individuals and help solve the decisions that policymakers face. The subject introduces and uses the neoclassical theory of consumer behaviour to initially explain how individuals respond to changes in prices, wages, interest rates and income and how to measure their welfare. The subject then considers both market and non-market public policy options such as sin-taxes, the impact of subsidies, free education vs. vouchers, welfare payments and clawback. The subject concludes by examining concepts of efficiency and social welfare and their measurement in a general equilibrium framework. This subject is a core subject in the Bachelor of Economics and can be taken as a nominated elective in a wide range of other programs throughout the University of Tasmania.
