The main objective of this project is to comprehensively analyze thepolitical economy of intergovernmental fiscal equalization within theinstitutional laboratory of the German federation. As outlined in theinitial application, the project aims to contribute to the empiricalliterature on intergovernmental transfers in political economics andpublic finance. From a policy perspective, the results from thisproject may also be helpful for policy makers in Germany (andelsewhere) for designing efficient and equitable intergovernmentaltransfer schemes. As this is a follow-up application, one importantaim is to complete several subprojects that are still work inprogress. In addition, Ms. Lopes-da-Fonseca, whose Ph.D. studentposition is funded by the project, and I would also like to exploresome questions that were mentioned in the original application buthave been neglected hitherto.

本研究的主要目的是在德国联邦的制度实验室内对政府间财政均等化的政治经济学进行综合分析。正如在最初的申请中所概述的，该项目旨在为政治经济学和公共财政领域的政府间转移支付文献做出贡献。从政策的角度来看，本项目的结果也可能有助于德国（和其他地方）的决策者设计有效和公平的政府间转移计划。由于这是一个后续的应用程序，一个importantaim是完成几个子项目，仍在进行中。此外，Lopes-da-Fonseca女士，她的博士学生职位是由项目资助的，我也想探讨一些问题，在最初的申请中提到，但一直被忽视至今。
