Regressive Effects

ZusammenfassungDie Verfahren zur Verteilung der Finanzmassen im kommunalen Finanzausgleich sind seit langem Gegenstand heftiger Auseinandersetzungen. In jüngerer Zeit ist diese Diskussion um eine weitere Dimension erweitert worden, soweit nämlich dem Instrument Schüsselzuweisungen unerwünschte regressive Effekte vorgeworfen werden. Insbesondere für die Gemeinden in den neuen Ländern bestehe die Gefahr, daß der Finanzausgleich seine distributive Funktion nicht erfüllen kann. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht anhand der Finanzausgleichssysteme der Länder Brandenburg und Sachsen, ob regressive Effekte beobachtet werden können.

Regressive Effects

This paper examines the Department of Energy’s (DOE) reliance on low discount rates to estimate the benefits of its energy efficiency standards and uses existing literature on implicit consumer discount rates to calculate a range of benefits for DOE’s furnace fan rule. While DOE calculates large net benefits from its energy efficiency rule, using discount rates that better represent average consumer time preferences shows that this standard results in net costs. Furthermore, given the variation in consumer discount rates by income, this standard is effectively a transfer payment from low- and median-income households to high-income households.
