Abstract Germany reintroduced parity funding of the statutory health insurance scheme in January 2019 by lowering the contribution rates for employees and raising those for employers, leaving the total rate constant. This reduces the tax wedge between total labour costs and net wages. After a small demand impulse on impact, followed by a small downturn in the first two years after implementation, an estimated New Keynesian DSGE model indicates small positive long-run output and employment effects. However, the reduced tax wedge leads to lower public revenues. Aggregate macroeconomic and welfare effects will depend on how the government compensates for these revenue losses.

DSGE观点：德国医疗保健捐助的均等资助

摘要德国于2019年1月通过降低雇员缴费率和提高雇主缴费率的方式重新引入了法定健康保险计划的同等资金，使总缴费率保持不变。这减少了总劳动成本和净工资之间的税收楔形。在实施后的最初两年中，需求推动力很小，随后出现了小幅下滑，估计的新凯恩斯主义DSGE模型表明长期产出和就业效应较小。但是，税收楔子减少导致公共收入减少。宏观经济和福利的总体影响将取决于政府如何补偿这些收入损失。
