Abstract: "When firms face lower investment costs, it not only encourages them to purchase new machinery and equipment but also helps secure and create jobs. An analysis of the German investment tax credit programme shows that this policy provided an important boost to the economy in the former East Germany after reunification." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
