Components of a municipal finance reform: Trade tax and public assistance – Expert report for the Bundestag group Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen

Thomas Notheis, Martin Junkernheinrich
IWH-Sonderhefte, No. 1, 1996
Abstract
Die Reform des Gemeindesteuersystems steht bereits seit Jahren auf der politischen Tagesordnung. Mittlerweile haben sich die kontroversen Positionen zwischen Bundesgesetzgeber, Wirtschaft und Kommunen deutlich angenähert. Die weit fortgeschrittene Aushöhlung der Gewerbesteuer und die zunehmende Delegation von ausgabenintensiven Aufgaben auf die lokale Ebene haben die Verhandlungsposition der Städte und Gemeinden geschwächt. Für viele Kämmerer dominiert das fiskalische Deckungsziel, so daß man auch Reformmodelle zu akzeptieren bereit ist, die man lange und mit Gründen abgelehnt hat.

Private Equity in the Hospital Industry

Janet Gao, Yongseok Kim, Merih Sevilir
Journal of Financial Economics, 2099
Abstract
We examine employment and patient outcomes at hospitals acquired by private equity (PE) firms and PE-backed hospitals. While employment declines at PE-acquired hospitals, core medical workers (physicians, nurses, and pharmacists) increase significantly. The proportion of wages paid to core workers increases at PE-acquired hospitals whereas the proportion paid to administrative employees declines. These results are most pronounced for deals where the acquirers are publicly traded PE-backed hospitals. Non-PE-backed acquirers also cut employment but do not increase core workers or reduce administrative expenditures. Finally, PE-backed acquirers are not associated with worse patient satisfaction or mortality rates compared to their non-PE-backed counterparts.
