Steuerreform und Gewinnbeteiligung

Fighting unemployment is at the top of the political agenda in Germany. Ronnie Schöb shows how both a fundamental reform of the German system of factor income taxation and the introduction of a public profit sharing scheme can reduce unemployment in Germany substantially. By embedding these policies into a compact for employment, this can be achieved without changing the income distribution as determined by wage negotiations between trade unions and employer organisations or rolling back the welfare state.
