Abstract

Der Privatkonkurs bietet überschuldeten Personen die Möglichkeit, eine Restschuldbefreiung zu erlangen. Von 1995 bis Ende 2021 wurden in Österreich insgesamt etwa 197.000 Privatkonkursanträge gestellt. Die jährliche Zahl der Anträge stieg bis Ende der 2000er-Jahre kontinuierlich an. Seither lassen sich größere Sprünge in den Fallzahlen beobachten, vor allem im Zusammenhang mit Reformen und Veränderungen der politischen Rahmenbedingungen, wie etwa in der COVID-19-Krise. In der Analyse zeigen sich auch Zusammenhänge mit der Konjunktur und der Bevölkerungsdichte, wobei die Konkursquoten vor allem in urbanen Gebieten hoch sind. Zur Untersuchung detaillierter kausaler Zusammenhänge sowie der Auswirkungen der rezenten Teuerungswelle sind jedoch vertiefende Analysen erforderlich.
