Ist die Schuldenbremse noch zeitgemäß? Verhindert sie wichtige Investitionen in Klimaschutz und Infrastruktur? Oder hilft sie dabei, die richtigen Prioritäten zu setzen
A recent study by Peter Andre (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE in Frankfurt), Teodora Boneva (University of Bonn), Felix Chopra (University of Copenhagen) and Armin Falk (University of Bonn) demonstrates for the first time that a broad majority of the world’s population supports climate action and is willing to incur a personal cost to fight climate change. The findings, published in Nature Climate Change, are based on a globally representative survey conducted in 125 countries, involving approximately 130,000 individuals. According to the study, 69 percent of the world's population is willing to contribute one percent of their personal income to the fight against climate change – a significant contribution to climate action.
Die Preise für Wohnimmobilien sind 2023 so stark gefallen wie noch nie seit Beginn der systematischen Immobilienpreiserfassung in Deutschland vor rund 60 Jahren. Dies gilt für alle Wohnsegmente, also Eigentumswohnungen, Ein- und Mehrfamilienhäuser. Das zeigt das jüngste Update des German Real Estate Index (GREIX) mit Daten für das 4. Quartal 2023, in dem sich der Preisverfall aber nicht mehr in der Breite fortgesetzt hat. Der Greix ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt der Gutachterausschüsse für Grundstückswerte, des Exzellenzclusters ECONtribute der Universitäten Bonn und zu Köln sowie dem IfW Kiel. Dabei werden die Kaufpreissammlungen der Gutachterausschüsse, die notariell beglaubigte Verkaufspreise enthalten, nach aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Standards ausgewertet. Alle Daten für momentan 19 Städte sind frei verfügbar unter www.greix.de.
