Abstract

Mit einem neu verfügbaren repräsentativen Längsschnittdatensatz für 1999 bis 2006 dokumentiert die vorliegende Studie erstmals umfassend für deutsche Industrieunternehmen die Verbreitung von subventionierten und nicht subventionierten Unternehmen in West- und Ostdeutschland und die Unterschiede zwischen beiden Gruppen. Der Anteil der subventionierten Unternehmen an allen Industrieunternehmen war in jedem betrachteten Jahr in Ostdeutschland deutlich höher als in Westdeutschland. Die Verteilung der Subventionen pro Kopf in den Unternehmen ist dabei in beiden Teilen Deutschlands linkssteil – viele subventionierte Unternehmen erhalten geringe Beträge, bei wenigen sind es (zum Teil sehr) hohe Beträge. Subventionierte und nicht subventionierte Unternehmen unterscheiden sich zum Teil deutlich hinsichtlich Größe, Produktivität, Humankapitalintensität, Rentabilität und Forschungs- und Entwicklungsintensität. Nach den hier vorgestellten Befunden werden Unternehmen subventioniert, die bereits vor Beginn der Subventionszahlungen intensiver als andere Unternehmen im Bereich Forschung und Entwicklung tätig waren. Für einen positiven kausalen Effekt der Subventionen auf eine der unterschiedlichen betrachteten Dimensionen der Unternehmensperformance finden sich keine Hinweise.
