Wes Lied ich sing . . . – Anmerkungen zur Qualitätssicherung in der volkswirtschaftlichen Auftragsforschung

Abstract

In contradiction to an article of Bo¨nte and Lucke published recently in this journal, this article argues that insufficient quality of commissioned economic research basically results from distorted quality control incentives both for contractors and clients and not from asymmetric information between them. As a remedy, a mandatory publication of studies commissioned by public institutions is recommended. Such an obligation would not completely eliminate distorted incentives, but its influence on research quality would probably be higher than the influence of a referee procedure as suggested by Bo¨nte and Lucke.
