Abstract

According to the "Mainz Model" low-wage earners who take on a job with obligatory social insurance contributions will receive subsidies for their payroll taxes. In the opinion of Dr. Hans-Peter Klös and Holger Schäfer, Institute of the German Economy in Cologne, this will hardly lead to greater job-creation effects. For Viktor Steiner, CESifo, even negative job effects of the Mainz Model cannot be ruled out. Dr. Ulrich Walwei, IAB, warns against "a comprehensive and massive wage subsidisation in the confines of an otherwise unchanged tax and transfer system". Sabine Dann and Martin Rosemann, IAW Tübingen, argue for a combination of subsidies and job-entry payments
