Obstacles to Changing the Incentive System: The Case of the Federal Republic of Germany

Holger Bonus

Chapter 14 in Economic Incentives, 1986, pp 378-397 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The West German economy is heavily regulated. I shall not attempt to itemize all the regulation in existence here. Even less shall I discuss, piece by piece, the manifold impediments to relaxing the burden1. Rather I propose to single out two particular arenas, not atypical as I see them for West German institutional complexities, and discuss for these in some detail what tends to reinforce and petrify rigid regulatory patterns, what tends to loosen them up, and the kind of dynamics that might emerge as the drama proceeds.
