| Summary: | The 2003 conference proceedings of the Public Finance Committee on "Financial Policy and Redistribution" offer a competent overview of recent developments in the current political research field of redistribution policy, which specialist journals and monographs cannot offer in this synoptic and compact form. (http://www.socialpolitik.org/aussch.htm offers a documentation of the conference proceedings of the last few years.) Johann Brunner (University of Linz) analyzes the theory of optimal taxation and its expansion approaches from the perspective of distribution policy, such as the interaction of direct and indirect taxation, dynamic models with dynastic and overlapping generational structure and the inclusion of wealth transfers. Giacomo Corneo (University of Osnabrück) analyzes the individual behavior of citizens towards public redistribution programs and emphasizes the relevance of altruism, striving for social status and trust in the fairness of market results for the formation of redistribution preferences. These hypotheses are also confirmed for Germany in more recent studies. Wolfgang Peters, Silke Gottschalk and Christine Schuler (University Viadrina Frankfurt a. d. Oder) examine the question of whether globalization is the cause of a reduction in the tax burden and gradual social cuts. In the theoretical part of their work, they develop hypotheses about the effects of globalization on voting behavior and national tax policy, which they then empirically test. Dietmar Wellisch (University of Hamburg) uses a theoretical model to analyze the effects of immigration on distribution. Citizens who make endogenous educational choices will be willing to open borders to migrants, despite increased competition in the labor market, but will at the same time shift the funding of their educational system to immigrants who cannot access educational services in their host country. |
