Abstract

Zusammenfassung Viele Bundesländer haben nach der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise spezielle Konsolidierungsprogramme für finanzschwache Kommunen aufgelegt. Mit dem Programmstart zeigten sich bei den teilnehmenden Kommunen deutliche Verbesserungen bei den Finanzkennzahlen. Allerdings ergeben sich als Reaktion auf die Programme auch einige adverse Effekte. Das betrifft insbesondere eine unterdurchschnittliche Entwicklung des Steueraufkommens, steigende Sozialausgaben und eine geringe Investitionstätigkeit. Daran zeigt sich, dass die finanzielle Lage der teilnehmenden Kommunen auch zukünftig belastet sein wird.
