Abstract

Negotiations between the federal level and the Länder to reform the German fiscal equalisation system have begun. Major laws concerning the support of the East German Länder and the system of fiscal equalisation in general have to be replaced by 2020. However, instead of debating the design of the future fiscal equalisation with an emphasis on attaining the constitutionally anchored goal of guaranteeing equivalent living standards throughout the country, the publicly discussed proposals focus too narrowly on incremental changes. They fail to take account of future and current social and economic challenges such as demographic change and regional disparities. Copyright ZBW and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
