Motivated by growing concerns about the risks and instability of China's financial system, this article reviews several commonly perceived financial risks and discusses their roots in China's politico-economic institutions. We emphasize the need to evaluate these risks within China's unique economic and financial systems, in which the state and non-state sectors coexist and the financial system serves as a key tool of the government to fund its economic policies. Overall, we argue that: (1) financial crisis is unlikely to happen in the near future, and (2) the ultimate risk lies with China's economic growth, as a vicious circle of distortions in the financial system lowers the efficiency of capital allocation and economic growth and will eventually exacerbate financial risks in the long run.

Seit der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise haben sich Bruttoinlandsprodukt und Beschäftigung in Deutschland aufwärts bewegt. Worauf basiert diese Robustheit? Michael Hüther sieht die deutsche Wettbewerbsfähigkeit nicht durch einen zu niedrigen Euro-Kurs bedingt. Vielmehr identifiziert er Alleinstellungsmerkmale wie etwa die Kooperationsvorteile durch Sozialpartnerschaft sowie eine höhere Vernetzung und Flexibilität der Wirtschaftssektoren. Aber auch der gesellschaftlichen Stabilität kommt eine wichtige Rolle zu. Risiken sieht er darin, dass angebotspolitische Reformen zurückgenommen werden, die digitale Infrastruktur nicht rasch ausgebaut und der demografische Wandel nicht berücksichtigt wird. ; GDP and employment in Germany have been improving since the economic and financial crisis. This paper investigates where this stability comes from. Michael Hüther does not believe that the cheap euro alone accounts for the high level of German competitiveness. He stresses unique German features such as the advantages of collaboration through social partnership and interconnected networks, as well as the flexibility of the economic sectors. In addition, German social stability plays an important role. He warns about the risks that would accompany a reversal of supply side political reforms, a lack of development of the country's digital infrastructure and a failure to take coming demographic changes into account.

Prinzipien der Wirtschaftsordnung können mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Gestaltungen von juristischen, sozialen, ökologischen und kulturellen Systemen kombiniert werden. Diese Wirtschaftsstile stehen in Konkurrenz zueinander. Allerdings gibt es innerhalb der Europäischen Union die Tendenz, Regeln zu vereinheitlichen und Automatismen in die Wirtschaftspolitik einzuführen. Die Gefahr, dass die Vielfalt der Wirtschaftsstile und der wirtschaftspolitischen Ansätze verloren geht, diskutierten die Autoren im Rahmen einer Panelsitzung, die der Wirtschaftsdienst für die Jahrestagung des Vereins für Socialpolitik 2013 organisiert hat. ; In 2000 the European Union adopted its motto, of "Unity in diversity". But in fact, economic policy regimes differ among member states and the people are not willing to leave the current path or to vote for painful political actions. In the midst of the present crisis, Europe is at the crossroads. Should people decide on a new constitution which allows more centralisation of powers, or should the principle of subsidiarity be reinforced? Problems in the eurozone intensified the coordination and monitoring of economic policy of the member states. The preconditions for a competition among different economic policy regimes vanish more and more. Institutional competition is not only price (tax) competition, but also quality (yardstick) competition. This is shown using debt brakes as a role model for other member countries of the European Union. But the debt brakes of the German Länder show that it can be problematic to transfer an institution from one country to another without taking into account its institutional environment.
