In the Wirtschaftspodcast ECONtribute addresses political challenges of the following years and discusses them scientifically every two weeks until the election on September 26.

Kicking off the season, Prof. Dr. Felix Bierbrauer, professor at ECONtribute at the University of Cologne, analyzes possible reforms of the German tax system. Is our tax system efficient? Should high-income earners pay higher taxes? And how realistic are tax cuts after the pandemic?

In the second episode, Prof. Dr. Moritz Schularick, professor at ECONtribute at the University of Bonn, analyses the real estate market in Germany over the past decade. His outlook: housing will still be in short supply in 2030. The episode deals with the real estate boom, gentrification and (un)affordable rents.
