    Im Kieler Bundesausgabenmonitor 2024 werden die Bundesausgaben nach einem funktionellen Gliederungsschema dargestellt. Danach entfallen rund zwei Drittel des Bundeshaushalts für das Jahr 2024 auf die Ausgaben zur Korrektur der Einkommensverteilung, die Finanzhilfen des Bundes und die Altlasten. Die Sozialausgaben und Ausgaben für Umverteilungsbürokratie in Höhe von 212 Mrd. Euro machen im Jahr 2024: 35,4 Prozent der Bundesausgaben aus. Der zweitgrößte Ausgabeblock sind die Finanzhilfen des Bundes, also die vom Bund geleisteten Ausgabesubventionen, in einem Umfang von 127,3 Mrd. Euro bzw. 21,3 Prozent der Gesamtausgaben des Bundes. Zu den weiteren Ausgabenkategorien zählen u.a. die im Monitor enger gefassten Ausgaben des Bundes für äußere und innere Sicherheit mit 68,4 Mrd. Euro sowie die Forschung außerhalb von Unternehmen mit 14 Mrd. Euro. Dieser empirische Befund zeigt, dass die Ausgaben für äußere und innere Sicherheit sowie zur Förderung der internationalen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Deutschlands trotz aller Anstrengungen noch keine besondere politische Priorisierung erfahren haben. Hingegen haben die Ausgabenschwerpunkte in den Bereichen Soziales und Finanzhilfen weiter an Gewicht gewonnen. In the Kiel Federal Expenditure Monitor 2024, federal expenditure is presented according to a functional classification scheme. Following this scheme, around two thirds of the federal budget for 2024 will be spent on correcting income distribution, federal financial aid and legacy burdens. Social spending and spending on redistribution bureaucracy amounting to EUR 212 billion will account for 35.4 percent of federal spending in 2024. The second largest block of expenditure is federal financial assistance, i.e. expenditure subsidies provided by the federal government, amounting to EUR 127.3 billion or 21.3 percent of total federal expenditure. Other expenditure categories include federal expenditure on external and internal security, which is more narrowly defined in the Monitor, at EUR 68.4 billion, and research outside of companies at EUR 14 billion. This empirical finding shows that, despite all efforts, spending on external and internal security and on promoting Germany's international competitiveness has not yet been given any particular political priority. On the other hand, spending priorities in the areas of social affairs and financial aid have continued to gain in importance.

    Recent EU country-specific recommendations to make taxation more growth-friendly have advocated a stronger use of recurrent taxes on immovable property and a shift of the tax burden from labour income, including a reduction of the labour tax burden of low-income taxpayers. This Economic Brief focuses on challenges related to these two types of tax reforms during periods of high inflation. The challenges linked to immovable property taxation include the update of the property values as well as issues relating to liquidity problems for households with property but relatively low income. Regarding reforms aimed at reducing the labour tax burden on low-income taxpayers, their impact may be challenged by the so-called bracket creep (or fiscal drag) phenomenon, i.e., the shift of taxpayers into higher tax brackets due to an increase of nominal incomes. The present paper highlights the relevance of these issues on the basis of recent empirical evidence and discusses current practices and possible solutions.

    This paper quantifies the dynamic macroeconomic effects of tax changes in Germany, allowing for anticipation effects of preannounced tax reforms. Identification is achieved using a narrative approach, which provides information about the timing of tax reforms. An anticipated cut in taxes has a positive effect on output with a peak multiplier of 1.7, observed not until nine quarters after implementation. This positive effect is accompanied by significant negative anticipation effects on output, consumption, investment, hours worked, and wages. Our results suggest that policy makers should take anticipation effects into account when implementing fiscal policy measures.

    This paper uses a multi-region, forward-looking, DSGE model to estimate the macroeconomic impact of a tax reform that replaces a corporate income tax (CIT) with a destination-based cash-flow tax (DBCFT). Two key channels are at play. The first channel is the shift from an income tax to a cash-flow tax. This channel induces the corporate sector to invest more, boosting long-run potential output, GDP and consumption, but crowding out consumption in the short run as households save to build up the capital stock. The second channel is the shift from a taxable base that comprises domestic and foreign revenues, to one where only domestic revenues enter. This leads to an appreciation of the currency to offset the competitiveness boost afforded by the tax and maintain domestic investment-saving equilibrium. The paper demonstrates that spillover effects from the tax reform are positive in the long run as other countries' exports benefit from additional investment in the country undertaking the reform and other countries' domestic demand benefits from improved terms of trade. The paper also shows that there are substantial benefits when all countries undertake the reform. Finally, the paper demonstrates that in the presence of financial frictions, corporate debt declines under the tax reform as firms are no longer able to deduct interest expenses from their profits. In this case, the tax shifting results in an increase in the corporate risk premia, a near-term decline in output, and a smaller long-run increase in GDP

    An earlier paper titled "Non-linear effects of tax changes on output: The role of the initial level of taxation," estimated tax multipliers using (i) a novel dataset on value-added taxes for 51 countries (21 industrial and 30 developing) for the period 1970-2014, and (ii) the so-called narrative approach developed by Romer and Romer (2010) to properly identify exogenous tax changes. The main finding is that, in line with existing theoretical distortionary and disincentive-based arguments, the effect of tax changes on output is highly non-linear. The tax multiplier is essentially zero under relatively low/moderate initial tax rate levels and more negative as the initial tax rate and the size of the change in the tax rate increase. This companion paper first shows that these findings have important policy implications, given that the initial level of taxes varies greatly across countries and thus so will the potential output effect of changing tax rates. The paper then turns to some specific policy applications. It focuses on the relevance of the arguments for revenue mobilization in countries with low levels of provision of public goods and social and infrastructure gaps, as well as in commodity-dependent countries. The paper then considers some practical implications for the standard debt sustainability analysis. Lastly, it evaluates the implications of the findings for the Laffer curve

    This paper quantifies the dynamic macroeconomic effects of tax changes in Germany, allowing for anticipation effects of preannounced tax reforms. Identification is achieved using a narrative approach which provides information about the timing of tax reforms. For an anticipated tax shock, we find an implied peak tax multiplier after implementation of 1.7. However, this positive effect is accompanied by significantly negative anticipation effects, in particular for output, investment, and hours worked. A substantial positive impact is observed only several quarters after implementation. Our results suggest that tax policy may thus be able to exploit anticipation effects by strategically announcing policy measures. Diese Studie quantifiziert die makroökonomischen Effekte von Steuerrechtsänderungen in Deutschland und berücksichtigt dabei mögliche Antizipationseffekte. Diese können sich bereits mit der Ankündigung einer Reform zeigen. Die Steuerschocks werden über einen narrativen Ansatz identifiziert, der Informationen über den zeitlichen Ablauf der Gesetzgebungsverfahren liefert. Eine antizipierte Steuersenkung entfaltet ihren maximalen Effekt auf das Bruttoinlandsprodukt erst mehr als zwei Jahre nach ihrer Umsetzung. Der Steuermultiplikator beträgt dann 1,7. Dieser positive Effekt wird jedoch von erheblichen negativen Antizipationseffekten begleitet. Dies gilt insbesondere für das Bruttoinlandsprodukt, die Investitionen und die Arbeitsstunden. Ein bedeutsamer positiver Effekt lässt sich hier erst mehrere Quartale nach der Umsetzung der Reform beobachten. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie deuten daher darauf hin, dass sich die Steuerpolitik prinzipiell Antizipationseffekte zunutze machen kann, um die Konjunktur zu stabilisieren.

    A provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 offered tax incentives for investing in certain low-income areas in the United States called Opportunity Zones (OZs). The goal of this provision was to spur private investment in OZs in order to improve the economic well-being of their residents. This paper uses a regression discontinuity design to evaluate the impact of OZs on commercial investment and economic activity. Using data on the universe of all significant commercial investments in the United States, we find that OZ selection led to practically no increase in investment in OZs. These findings are supported by additional data from Mastercard that also show no evidence of increased business activity nor consumer spending. Overall, our findings suggest that the impact of OZs on economic improvement has thus far been limited.

    Der Kieler Bundesausgabenmonitor stellt eine Erweiterung des Kieler Subventionsberichts dar. Es werden nicht nur die Finanzhilfen des Bundes dokumentiert, sondern die gesamten Bundesausgaben im Zeitraum von 2000 bis 2021. Dabei werden die Ausgaben nach einem funktionellen Gliederungsschema dargestellt, das Umverteilungsausgaben im weitesten Sinne, Ausgaben für Produktionsleistungen der Vergangenheit, Ausgaben mit Produktionseffekten in der laufenden Periode, Ausgaben mit Produktionseffekten in der Zukunft, auslandswirksame Zahlungen sowie Sonstiges umfasst. Die Autoren stellen fest, dass über den Beobachtungszeitraum hinweg die Sozialausgaben mit einem Anteilswert zwischen 35 und 40 Prozent der bereinigten Bundesausgaben dominieren. Auch haben am aktuellen Rand die Finanzhilfen deutlich zugenommen, die nunmehr mit knapp 19 Prozent auf dem zweiten Platz der Ausgabenkategorien rangieren. Daraus wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass die Neigung der politisch Verantwortlichen, Subventionen zu verteilen, im Gefolge der Corona-Krise deutlich zugenommen hat. In diesem Zusammenhang weisen die Autoren darauf hin, dass im Jahr 2021 der Bund aus dem Zukunftspaket Unternehmen mit knapp 20 Mrd. Euro zusätzlich bezuschusst hat, die nicht als sachnotwendige Entschädigungen infolge des Lockdowns gewertet werden können. Diese Mittel haben somit nicht der Stabilisierung der Wirtschaft in der Corona-Krise gedient, sondern haben als Mittel selektiver Industriepolitik eindeutig Finanzhilfecharakter. Vor dem Hintergrund der Einrichtung eines Sondervermögens für Verteidigungszwecke über 100 Mrd. Euro, regen die Autoren an, zur Gegenfinanzierung nicht nur die künftigen Generationen heranzuziehen, sondern auch laufende Subventionen abzubauen. The Kiel Federal Expenditure Monitor is an extension of the Kiel Subsidy Report. It documents not only federal financial assistance but also total federal spending in the period from 2000 to 2021. The Expenditure Monitor presents spending according to a functional classification scheme that includes redistributive spending in the broadest sense, past output spending, current-period output spending, future-period output spending, outgoing payments, and other expenditures. The authors note that over the observation period, redistributive spending dominates with a share of between 35 and 40 percent of adjusted federal spending. Moreover, at the current edge, financial assistance has increased significantly, now ranking second among expenditure categories at just under 19 percent. From these findings the authors conclude that the propensity of policymakers to distribute subsidies has increased significantly in the wake of the Corona crisis. In this context, the authors point out that in 2021 the federal government subsidized companies to the tune of almost EUR 20 billion additionally from the Future Package, which cannot be classified as material compensation as a result of the lockdown. These funds have therefore not served to stabilize the economy in the Corona crisis but, as a means of selective industrial policy, clearly have the character of financial aid. Against the backdrop of the establishment of a special fund for defense purposes worth 100 billion euros, the authors suggest that not only future generations should be called upon to provide the counter-financing, but that in addition current subsidies should be reduced.

    This article describes ZEW-EviSTA®, the microsimulation model developed and used at ZEW - Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim. The model simulates the German tax and transfer system using household micro level data. By estimating fiscal effects, labor market outcomes as well as distributional impacts the model allows for a comprehensive ex ante analysis of reform proposals. Heterogeneity analyses targeting specific subgroups of the population are feasible, too. The present article describes which data sources are used for the simulation, how key features of the German tax and transfer system are implemented, which simulation methods are employed to analyze policy changes and how the model is validated against official statistics. Moreover, by providing examples of the outputs which ZEW-EviSTA generates the paper gives an idea of the questions that can be answered using the model.

    Domestic revenue mobilization has been a longstanding challenge for countries in the Middle East and Central Asia. Insufficient revenue has often constrained priority social and infrastructure spending, reducing countries' ability to reach the Sustainable Development Goals, improve growth prospects, and address climate related challenges. Moreover, revenue shortfalls have often been compensated by large and sustained debt accumulation, raising vulnerabilities in some countries, and limiting fiscal space to address future shocks. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have compounded challenges to sustainable public finances, underscoring the need for revenue mobilization efforts. The recent global crises have also exacerbated existing societal inequalities and highlighted the importance of raising revenues in an efficient and equitable manner. This paper examines the scope for additional tax revenue mobilization and discusses policies to gradually raise tax revenue while supporting resilient growth and inclusion in the Middle East and Central Asia. The paper's main findings are that excluding hydrocarbon revenues, the region's average tax intake lags those of other regions; the region's fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) face particular challenges in mobilizing tax revenue; In general, there is considerable scope to raise additional tax revenue; countries have made efforts to raise tax collection, but challenges remain; tax policy design, notably low tax rates and pervasive tax exemptions, is an important factor driving tax revenue shortfalls; weak tax compliance, reflecting both structural features and challenges in revenue administration, also plays a role; and personal income tax systems in the region vary in their progressivity-the extent to which the average tax rate increases with income-and in their ability to redistribute income. These findings provide insights for policy action to raise revenue while supporting resilient growth and inclusion. The paper's analysis points to these priorities for the region to improve both efficiency and equity of tax systems: improving tax policy design to broaden the tax base and increase progressivity and redistributive capacity; strengthening revenue administration to improve compliance; and implementing structural reforms to incentivize tax compliance, formalization, and economic diversification

    How does economic uncertainty affect the impact of tax policy? We exploit a natural experiment in which two very similar investment subsidies were implemented in the same country, two years apart: once during a period of economic stability, and once during a period of very high uncertainty. Exploiting sharp discontinuities in eligibility and using rich administrative data, we find that firms exposed to high uncertainty decide to “wait and see” before investing, despite generous incentives. Firms that are sheltered from uncertainty still respond strongly to policy. This implies that periods of stability offer an important policy opportunity to encourage investment.

    We integrate a plausible expectation formation and learning scheme of boundedly rational investors into a standard user cost housing market model, involving a rental and a housing capital market. In particular, investors switch between heterogeneous expectation rules according to an evolutionary fitness measure, given by the rules' past profitability. We analytically show that our housing market model may produce endogenous boom-bust dynamics. Furthermore, we demonstrate that policy makers may use our model as a tool to explore how different tax policies may affect the housing market's steady state, its stability and out-of-equilibrium behavior.

    Over the past two decades, research on the impacts of a diverse range of public policies and income inequality has seen rapid growth. Despite the large number of publications to date, there remain important lacunae in our understanding of how policy interventions might help to reduce income inequality. This paper aims to fill this void by providing a systematic literature review of 270 publications that examine four key policy areas: (1) tax policy, (2) social benefits, (3) labour market interventions, and (4) education policy. We describe patterns of empirical findings and implications drawn from the reviewed publications. The strengths and weaknesses of the existing literature are also discussed, along with potential future research avenues.

    Using a narrative account of quarterly discretionary changes in tax liabilities from 1974Q4 to 2018Q2 in a VAR setting, we study whether legislative tax changes affect the trade balance in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. As legislative tax changes we consider (i) all changes, (ii) personal income tax changes, (iii) business tax changes, (iv) indirect tax changes in Germany and the UK, (v) spillovers of US tax changes into Germany and the UK, and (vi) asymmetric reactions after tax hikes and cuts. Generally, we find that after a reduction in aggregated tax liabilities, imports and exports in the US and Germany react quite similarly: imports tend to rise; exports do not change much. Consequently and fostered by growing output - the net-exports-to-GDP ratio decreases. We find no clear net effect in the UK. Instead, UK imports only increase after cuts to indirect taxes. However, employing normal variations of the tax changes as a yardstick, the economic magnitude of the estimated effects on the trade variables is not particularly large. Thus, there remain doubts as to whether tax policy is an effective instrument for addressing trade imbalances.

    We study state-dependent effects of narratively identified tax shocks in Germany and the UK over the period 1974Q1-2018Q4 using local projections. In addition, we distinguish between aggregated and disaggregated tax types (direct and indirect taxes) as well as look for possible asymmetries between tax hikes and tax cuts. We find a number of differences across the business cycle, and between sample countries, tax types, and direction of tax changes. For instance, aggregated tax cuts initially have a larger effect during times of nonrecession in Germany, whereas we find no state-dependent effects for the UK. When disaggregating tax types, German indirect tax cuts only appear expansionary during downturns, whereas the effect is positive throughout the business cycle in the UK. Furthermore, we find different reactions when considering tax cuts and hikes individually: tax hikes can be expansionary in Germany (UK) when implemented during non-recessionary (recessionary) periods whereas they are contractionary during recessions (non-recessions). When considering tax cuts, German GDP rises only when cuts are enacted in times of non-recession, whereas in the UK, the reactions is positive in either case and mostly symmetric. All these findings are robust to various changes in the econometric setup.
