Tasks
The project compares welfare effects of political measures in Germany. Using a uniform calculation method, the effects in the areas of fiscal policy, education policy, labor market policy and family policy are compared. The aim is to identify particularly efficient measures or areas.
Methods
Hendren and Sprung-Keyser, in their paper "A Unified Analysis of Government Policies" (Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2020), propose the calculation of Marginal Values of Public Funds to compare policies. We adopt this method and apply it to the context in Germany.
