Revenue Boosting Instruments in Municipal Finance from a Public Choice Perspective

Abstract
German municipalities are currently struggling with growing budget deficits, decreasing revenues, and rising expenditures. We argue that from a public choice perspective local politicians under financial pressure might prefer fiscal instruments that minimize the local voters' resistance and create fiscal illusion. According to Germany, suitable sources of additional revenues include the reallocation of revenues from the local business tax between the levels of government and increased profitability of local public utilities. Revenue Data from 1992 to 2004 indicate that changes in the relative significance of the net local business tax revenues are rather caused by changes in the share of the federal government in the revenues ('Gewerbesteuerumlage') than by changes in the local tax multipliers. Furthermore, we find a significant rise in profits of local public utilities in large German cities.

Requirements on Regulation Frameworks: What is the Best Way of Securing Efficiency in the Water Sector?
Peter Haug
Competition Policy in Network Industries, INFER Research Perspectives, Vol. 3,
2007
Abstract
The paper investigates the effects of several characteristics of regulatory frameworks in the water sector on the efficiency of water provision. Several requirements on efficient regulatory frameworks suggested in other studies of network industries are modified and others are derived from different economic theories of regulation. The resulting set of criteria is applied to the regulation systems of the Dutch, German and US-American water industry. A comparison of several performance indicators for the three countries suggests that some relationship between the design of regulatory frameworks and the price-quality-ratios in the water sector might exist.

Regionalpolitische Optionen für schrumpfende Städte
Peter Franz
Aus Parlament und Zeitgeschichte,
2005
Abstract
The current policy for the treatment of the problems of shrinking East German cities favours too one-sided the demolition of vacant housing units and the economic recovery of large housing enterprises. In addition to this a pessimism spreads that cities with a shrinking population sooner or later will suffer from economic distress. Such policies and attitudes are not suitable to improve the chances of the cities competing interregionally for business locations. It will be recommended to integrate demolition measures in a local strategy aimed to strengthen the existing economic potentials and to ameliorate the image of the city.
