    A simplification of the German tax law is the major intend when proposing a graduated tax rate to replace the current German formula based tax scale. A plain tax rate structure requires catchy tax brackets (e.g. in 5.000 € or 10.000 € steps) and tax rates (e.g. tax rate differences of 5% or 10%). Our empirical analysis shows that such a graduated tax rate causes significant distributional effects and, depending on the particular form, affects different groups of tax payers in different ways. This holds in particular for the two graduated tax rate proposals from the German Liberal Party which additionally provoke substantial revenue losses. A graduated tax rate with little revenue and distributional effects compared to the current formula based tax scale lacks a plain structure and hence conflicts with the objective of tax simplification. © 2011 Verein für Socialpolitik

The parliamentary party of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union pursues the following aims of energy policy: Clarity and reliability of energy policy, security of supply, economic efficiency, ecological benignity, prudent resource management. The realization of these aims forms an important basis for the economic and ecological development of a modern industrial society which stands in the midst of international competition. All energy source should meet the following requirements: International cooperation, more national and international competition, economic and efficient energy utilization.

Die Ziele der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion in der Energiepolitik sind: Klarheit und Verlaesslichkeit der Energiepolitik, Versorgungssicherheit, Wirtschaftlichkeit, Umweltvertraeglichkeit, Ressourcenschonung. Die Erreichung dieser Ziele ist eine wesentliche Grundlage fuer die oekonomische und oekologische Entwicklung einer modernen Industriegesellschaft, die im internationalen Wettbewerb steht.

    Patterns of junior partner influence on the foreign policy of coalition governments

    No full text
    This article contributes to research on the foreign policy influence of junior partners in coalition governments. In particular, it takes up the call to pay greater attention to different patterns and pathways of such influence. To this purpose, this article distinguishes two types of coalition set-ups for foreign policy making. In the first type, junior partners hold one or more departments in the foreign policy executive, and their foreign policy influence rests on the powers that controlling ministries in the field brings. In the second type, junior partners do not hold any department in foreign affairs, and their influence comes from their ability to constrain the discretion of the senior partner in foreign policy. The article exemplifies its theoretical contentions in comparative case studies on the current coalition governments in Germany and the UK, which represent the first and second type respectively
