Abstract

The financial strength of federal and state governments must be adequately compensated in federalism. The results of financial equalisation for 2014 point to the weaknesses and problems of the German system. Furthermore, a close correlation between the financial strength of the government levels and the salary levels of German officials in federal and state governments can be shown. Their payment has evolved differently since 2006. Economically, this can be interpreted as a positive element of competition; however, limits are set by the constitutional courts of federal and state governments. Given the debt ceiling and rising pension obligations, this problem will yet increase in the future. Copyright ZBW and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
