Finanzhilfen des Bundes
Alfred Boss and Astrid Rosenschon
Abstract: Subsidization policy is intensively discussed in Germany.
Subsidies comprise by definition tax expenditures and those government
expenditures which distort the structure of the economy; financial aid is
granted to different branches by the EU, the federal government, the states
(Länder) and the local authorities. The extent and the structure of the
federal government’s subsidies in the period 1998 to 2003 are analyzed. The
results are compared to the data in the official report of the federal
government released in October 2003 and to the data on which a reform
proposal of the Prime Ministers of the states Hessia and North
Rhine-Westphalia is based on.
