Abstract

Zusammenfassung Der neue Länderfinanzausgleich wird erstmals 2020 praktiziert. Die Analyse seiner Funktionsweise und Wirkungen zeigt, dass gegenüber dem alten System große formale, aber nur geringe materielle Unterschiede bestehen. Die Reform hat vorhandene Defizite sogar noch verschärft. Der Autor schlägt eine Modifikation des Länderfinanzausgleichs vor, die auf eine Verbesserung der finanziellen Anreizeffekte zielt und die Grenzbelastungen deutlich reduziert.
