Based on this, the allocation of responsibilities for education policy in Germany’s federal system is scrutinized. Hopes and fears associated with a more competitive, decentralized provision of education are discussed, referring to empirical studies. In conclusion, competition among states in a federation is advocated as a device for promoting policy innovation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1468-2516.00176"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/117380"],["dc.language.iso","de"],["dc.publisher","De Gruyter"],["dc.relation.eissn","1468-2516"],["dc.relation.issn","1465-6493"],["dc.title","PISA-Schock und Hochschulmisere – Hat der deutsche Bildungsföderalismus versagt?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Such a reform has two effects. First, both taxes induce different static distortions. The consumption tax does not affect the consumption-savings margin, but with a given revenue requirement, it must distort the labor supply decision more severely than the income tax does. Second, in a dynamic environment, a switch to the consumption tax induces an implicit lump-sum levy on existing wealth. The resulting efficiency gain, however, implies an intergenerational redistribution at the expense of older individuals."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/1091142103261677"],["dc.identifier.fs","21781"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8306"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/87389"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Professur für Finanzwissenschaft"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Does Old Capital Matter for Implementing a Pareto-Improving Tax Reform?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Within this context the literature has emphasized that the misalignment between immediate and future rewards can be rectified by government policy. Importantly, it has also been shown that intervention by a government that shares the same biased intertemporal preferences with consumers does not deliver welfare improvements. Focusing on the latter, this paper identifies conditions under which, in the presence of quasi‐hyperbolic preferences and a market imperfection (which takes the form of a negative externality), intervention by a present‐biased government is welfare enhancing. This is the case if the market imperfection is sufficiently strong or the consumers' bias for the present is weak."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Economic and Social Research Council http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100000269"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/caje.12572"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/105421"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation.eissn","1540-5982"],["dc.relation.issn","0008-4085"],["dc.rights","This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited."],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Present bias and externalities: Can government intervention raise welfare?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
