Abstract

Mit Argumenten aus der "Theorie des Marktversagens" und der "Neuen Politischen Ökonomie" kann gezeigt werden, daß Universitäten und Forschungsinstitute spezielle "Öffentliche Güter" produzieren, die eine Grundfinanzierung durch den Staat unter Effizienzgesichtspunkten rechtfertigen. Allerdings wäre die Produktion solcher wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschungsergebnisse durch einen einzigen Typ Forschungseinrichtung suboptimaL Da unterschiedliche Anforderungen an diese Forschungsergebnisse bestehen, ist es möglich, die Effizienz der Forschung durch eine Arbeitsteilung zwischen Universitäten, amtlicher Statistik sowie wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsinstituten zu steigern. Zugleich steigert Wettbewerb innerhalb der jeweiligen institutionellen Forschungssegmente (einschließlich der Produktion statistischer Daten) Effizienz und Effektivität der Forschung (und Lehre)- mit der Konsequenz, daß ein institutionalisierter "Wettbewerber" auch ausscheiden können muß, also beispielsweise eine Universität oder ein Forschungsinstitut geschlossen wird. Zu diesem Zweck sind Evaluierungen durch den grundfinanzierenden Staat durchzuführen, weil es sich bei den Forschungsaktivitäten um solche in einem nichtmarktlichen Wettbewerb handelt. Die zugrundeliegenden Evaluierungskriterien müssen dem Tatbestand Rechnung tragen, daß grundfinanzierte Forschung sowohl "selbstbestimmt" als auch von den Inhalten her "außengesteuert" ausgerichtet sein kann; aber selbst für vom Markt gesteuerte "reine Auftragsforschung" ist eine Evaluation deren akademischer Qualität sinnvoll.
