Abstract

Im Rahmen des deutschen Konjunkturpakets 2020 wurde eine temporäre Erhöhung des Kindergeldes, ein Kinderbonus, von 300 Euro pro kindergeldberechtigtem Kind beschlossen. Dieser Bonus wurde in zwei Raten ausgezahlt, eine im September (200 Euro) und eine im Oktober 2020 (100 Euro). Wir verwenden eine repräsentative Umfrage zum monatlichen Konsumverhalten deutscher Haushalte, um die intertemporale Konsumwirkung dieses Transfers zu schätzen. Gemäß diesen Schätzungen verausgaben die Kindergeldempfänger im Durchschnitt 28 bis 37 Prozent des Transfers als zusätzlichen Konsum bereits zwischen September und November 2020. Allerdings konzentriert sich die Ausgabensteigerung signifikant – wie auch theoretisch zu erwarten – auf Kindergeldempfänger mit niedrigem liquiden Vermögen, die erwarten, dass sie den Kinderbonus nicht vollständig über die Einkommensteuer zurückzahlen müssen. Diese Gruppe verausgabt den zusätzlichen Transfer fast vollständig.
