Abstract

Zusammenfassung Der historisch einmalige Einbruch der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Leistungen in der Corona-Krise macht wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahmen dringend erforderlich. Wenn die Maßnahmen sich auf die Nachfrageseite richten, müssen sie mit dem richtigen Timing, zielgenau und befristet gestaltet sein. Die Lenkungswirkung sollte dabei in den Hintergrund treten. Ein Maßnahmenkatalog, der von Steuersenkungen bis hin zu Direktzahlungen reicht, ist sinnvoll.
