Zusammenfassung
Um die individuelle Akzeptanz und gesellschaftliche Verbreitung technologischer Neuerungen wie der Elektromobilität angemessen einschätzen zu können, muss die Perspektive eines potenziellen Nutzers und seines Entscheidungsverhaltens berücksichtigt werden. In Anbetracht dessen liefert der Beitrag einen Einblick in die vorliegenden Erkenntnisse zu den Bestimmungsfaktoren der subjektiven Substitutionsbereitschaft zwischen konventionellen Antriebssystemen und Elektrofahrzeugen im Bereich des motorisierten Individualverkehrs bezogen auf die damit einhergehenden Opportunitätskosten und verhaltenspsychologischen Effekte. Davon werden einige sich daraus ergebende Implikationen für den Verkehrsbereich, die Umwelt sowie die mögliche Verbreitung von Elektrofahrzeugen im urbanen und ländlichen Raum abgeleitet.
Within the last two decades, local authorities throughout Germany have increased their revenue by stepping up their economic activities. Municipal business ventures range from energy supply to catering services and even food retail, and are almost all justified by some public purpose or other. In 2010, local authorities in western Germany earned 5.3 pc of total revenue from their economic activities, compared to 4.7 pc in 1992. The share in eastern Germany was rising over the same period from 4.3 pc to 5.1 pc. In fact in 2010 a total of € 9.3 billion was earned by local authorities this way (compared to € 6.0 billion in 1992). The aim of the paper is to examine this trend from the perspective of public finance by drawing on the theory of public goods, the theory of fiscal federalism and some aspects of new political economy. Although the results vary somewhat depending on the angle taken, on balance the new economic activities by local government in Germany must be assessed negatively.
