Economic Approach Government Intervention because of “market failures”  Public Goods (non-rival in consumption, non-excludible), [ex. light house, parks, railroad, legal system, defense]  Externalities [ex. pollution]  Asymmetric information  Adverse Selection [ex. health care, social security]  Moral Hazard [ex. health care, insurance provisions]  Natural Monopoly [ex. energy providers]

Economic Approach and Welfare State  Equity considerations  Paternalistic view  Asymmetric information (Adverse selection)  Insurance

Political Economics Approach  Our focus: Welfare State and Labor Market  Lines of redistribution:  Income: Rich and Poor  Age: Young and Old  Employment Status: Insiders and Outsiders  Factors of production: Labor and Capital

Citizens Opinions: Welfare State
