This book contains material that I have presented in seminars at
the Universities of Bochum, Mannheim, Munich, Salerno, and Southern
California at Los Angeles, the Institute for Advanced Studies in
Vienna, the Max-Planck-Institute for Demographic Research in
Rostock, and on various international meetings and conferences. In
preparing and revising the material I have benefited from comments,
discussions, and advice from several colleagues. I had particularly
close and friendly collaboration with Alexander Kemnitz and Robert
von Weizsicker to whom I am very grateful. I am also grateful to
Michele Boldrin, Axel Borsch-Supan, Friedrich Breyer, Karen Feist,
Tullio Jappelli, Leo Kaas, Marco Pagano, Gerhard Schwooiauer, Carl
Christian von Weizsacker, and Wolfgang Wiegard for their comments
and suggestions. Finally, I would like to thank the Deutsche

This book studies the normative and positive ramifications of public pension policies in a growing economy. It analyzes the impact of an unfunded public pension scheme on aggregate productivity growth and efficiency, it considers the political forces behind public pension legislation, and it develops and discusses elements of public pension design and reform. The book emphasizes the endogenous growth paradigm for an understanding of the dynamic impact of intergenerational transfers inherent in an unfunded public pension scheme. It uncovers an allocative role of intergenerational transfers which is exclusively linked to the possibility of endogenously evolving economic growth. The endogenous growth approach also allows to identify unfunded public pensions as a source of a conflict between current and future generations. This conflict shapes private old-age security considerations as well as the process of public pension legislation.
Das Buch liefert eine elementare Einfuhrung in die
Finanzwissenschaft. Es richtet sich an Studenten im Grundstudium
der Wirtschaftswissenschaften sowie an Studenten im Hauptstudium,
die einen schnellen Einstieg in die konzeptionellen Grundlagen der
modernen Finanzwissenschaft gewinnen wollen. Dabei setzt es keine
spezifischen Kenntnisse der Volkswirtschaftslehre voraus.
Theoretische Ansatze werden mit Hilfe von Zahlenbeispielen
entwickelt. Folgende Problemkreise werden behandelt: die normative
und die positive Theorie der Staatstatigkeit, die offentlichen
Einnahmen durch Besteuerung und Staatsverschuldung sowie die
wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Ausgabenprogramme, insbesondere die
Instrumente der Armutsbekampfung, die Sozialversicherung und die
offentliche Bildung. Die neue Auflage ist aktualisiert, deutlich
ausgeweitet sind die Ubungsfragen und die dazugehorigen Losungen zu
jedem Kapitel."
