Abstract
This paper discusses the role that the economics of uncertainty has played in the theory of

public finance. From being mostly concerned with its choice-theoretic foundations in the

1950s and ‘60s, the theory of expected utility maximization and risk averse behaviour has

contributed decisively to the development of several areas of the theory of public finance.

Three of these have been chosen here to illustrate the general point: Taxation and risk taking,

the role of uncertainty in public expenditure and the theory of tax evasion and compliance.
