Abstract

Da ein einheitliches, politikfelduebergreifendes und wirtschaftswissenschaftlich fundiertes Verbraucherleitbild fehlt, gibt dieser Beitrag einen UEberblick ueber den Stand der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Diskussion um das Verbraucherleitbild. Eine empirische Analyse zeigt, dass es ‘den muendigen Verbraucher’ nicht gibt und eine differenzierte Betrachtung noetig ist. Am Beispiel des Verbraucherbegriffs des Gesetzes gegen Wettbewerbsbeschraenkungen werden Implikationen fuer die Wirtschaftspolitik diskutiert. (In Germany there is still no uniform, policy field-spanning and economic research-based consumer model. This paper provides an overview of the contributions of economic research to the discussion about the consumer model. Scrutinizing this model with an empirical analysis, we find that the picture of ‘the empowered consumer” does not exist, and rather a more differentiating approach would be.)
