Perspektiven Der Wirtschaftspolitik | 2009

Mutual debt liability of the German federal states (Lander) contributed to the large increase of public debt in Germany over the last half century. A commission eager to impose stricter debt limits on state budgets encountered opposition by the Lander. This article proposes the strengthening of the Lander liability for their respective debt in order to disentangle interdependencies between state layers. A recent Federal Constitutional Court ruling is analyzed which sharply reduced bailout expectations of Lander and hence allows for the evolution of new institutions such as public bonds with collective action clauses as intermediate institutions towards strict bankruptcy procedures.

What is the theoretical basis for spending billions of dollars to fight the financial and economic crisis? Neither the model of an omnipotent state nor that of a welfare-maximising state seems appropriate. We propose a model of a contractual state resulting from an exchange of protection against systemic risks against regulation of the banking sector. During the years of globalisation governments have neglected to install institutions to reduce systematic risks and currently pay the price for their laxity. We evaluate what can be undertaken in both the short and long run and how far a framework can be enforced internationally.

Die Auspragung des deutschen Foderalismus hat sich in den letzten Dekaden vielfach gewandelt. Verantwortlichkeiten der Gebietskorperschaften waren anfangs deutlich, wurden uber die Zeit verwassert und konnten kurzlich durch Entscheidungen des Bundesverfassungsgerichts und durch eine Einigung in der Foderalismuskommission II wieder klargestellt werden. Die verabschiedeten Verschuldungsregeln fur den Bund und die Lander weisen in die richtige Richtung, wenn auch deren Befolgung nicht sicher ist.
