This research area is dedicated to investigating federal systems under the conditions of rising factor mobility and greater restrictions on capital markets for the financing of government debt. Research activities focus on Germany’s federal system as well as the division of responsibilities between the EU and its member states. Questions related to the division of responsibilities between the public and non-profit sectors are also investigated by economists in this research area.
