Grant and subsidy mechanisms that influence public funding, regional development, and fiscal transfers.
Grants, Subsidies, and Structural Funds covers fiscal policy, public budgets, grants, spending rules, multipliers, stabilization tools, federalism, and budget-control concepts used in finance and public finance.

It sits inside Public Finance, Federalism, and Grants, so readers can move up when the broader economics context matters.
