Andreas Musil examines how the incentive mechanisms of competition can be effective in government administration as well. He deals in particular with constitutional guidelines for and limits to administrative reforms whose purpose is the economization of the administration. From the perspective of constitutional law, he analyzes the significance of competition and profitability in the Basic Law, and their limits as well. Since the author shows that government administration can only be reformed and economized to a limited extent, he concludes by suggesting the privatization of jobs and functions as possible alternatives.
