Längeres gemeinsames Lernen wird als Möglichkeit und Herausforderung im vorwiegend gegliederten deutschen Schulwesen in der Bildungspolitik sowie Bildungsforschung diskutiert. In mittlerweile acht Bundesländern wurden seit 2005 neue Schulformen mit der Bezeichnung "Gemeinschaftsschule" etabliert, in welchen die (frühe) Segregation von Schüler:innen in Bildungsgänge nach hinten verlagert wird und alle Schulabschlüsse angeboten werden. Der Artikel skizziert knapp die Entwicklung längeren gemeinsamen Lernens der letzten 15 Jahre in Sachsen und beschreibt ausgehend von den gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen die sächsische Konzeption der Gemeinschaftsschule sowie der Oberschule+, welche mit der Änderung des sächsischen Schulgesetzes 2020 ermöglicht wurde. Die abschließende Bewertung legt nahe, dass sich die Etablierung längeren gemeinsamen Lernens in Sachsen unter schwierigen Bedingungen vollzieht.:Einleitung 1 Entwicklung der Gemeinschaftsschule in Sachsen 2 Gesetzliche Grundlagen der Gemeinschaftsschule und der Oberschule+ 2.1 Gemeinsamkeiten 2.2 Unterschiede 3 Wie stehen unter diesen schulgesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen die Prognosen für die Etablierung eines längeren gemeinsamen Lernens in Sachsen? ; In educational policy and educational research, longer learning within one track is discussed as a possibility and challenge in the predominantly tracked German school system. Since 2005, eight German states have established new types of schools called 'Gemeinschaftsschule', in which the (early) segregation of students in educational programs is shifted backwards and all possible qualifications are offered. The article briefly outlines the development of longer (joint) learning over the last 15 years in Saxony and, based on the legal framework, describes the Saxon concept of the Gemeinschaftsschule as well as the Oberschule+, which was made possible with the amendment of the Saxon School Act 2020. The concluding discussion suggests that the establishment of longer learning in Saxony is taking place under difficult conditions.:Einleitung 1 Entwicklung der Gemeinschaftsschule in Sachsen 2 Gesetzliche Grundlagen der Gemeinschaftsschule und der Oberschule+ 2.1 Gemeinsamkeiten 2.2 Unterschiede 3 Wie stehen unter diesen schulgesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen die Prognosen für die Etablierung eines längeren gemeinsamen Lernens in Sachsen?

Since wind energy is rapidly growing, new wind farms are installed worldwide and a discussion is going on concerning the optimal political framework to promote this development. In this paper, we present a wind energy index, which is supportive for wind park planners, operators, and policy-makers. Based on long-term and low-scale reanalysis wind speed data from MERRA and true production data, it can predict the expected wind energy production for every location and turbine type. After an in-sample and out-of-sample evaluation of the index performance, it is applied to assess the wind energy potential of locations in Germany, to compare different turbine types and to derive the required compensation in terms of locally different feed-in tariffs. We show that in many parts of South Germany, profitability of new wind parks cannot be achieved given the current legal situation.

Land market regulations are often justified by the assumption that activities of foreign and non-agricultural investors drive up prices in domestic land markets. However, empirical knowledge about the dynamics of agricultural land prices across borders is sparse. Using the German reunification as a natural experiment, we study the effect of the former inner German border on the dynamics of agricultural land prices in East and West Germany. We apply a land price diffusion model with an error correction specification to analyse spatial agricultural land markets. A novel feature of our model is its ability to distinguish price diffusion within states and across state borders. We provide evidence for a persistent border effect given that the fraction of spatially integrated counties is larger within states than across the former border. Moreover, we observe non-significant error correction terms for many counties along the former border. From a policy perspective, it is striking to realize that even 25 years after German reunification, pronounced land price differences persist. It is quite likely that price diffusion through existing borders within the EU would take even more time given language barriers, different institutional frameworks, and information asymmetries between domestic and foreign market participants. ; Peer Reviewed

Land market regulations are often justified by the assumption that activities of foreign and nonagricultural investors drive up land prices in countries with low land price levels. However, empirical knowledge about the dynamics of agricultural land prices across borders is sparse. Using the German reunification as a natural experiment, we study the effect of the former inner German border on the dynamics of agricultural land prices in East and West Germany. We apply a land price diffusion model with an error correction specification that estimates to what extent agricultural land markets are spatially integrated. A novel feature of our model is its ability to distinguish price diffusion within states and across state borders. We find that local agricultural land markets in Germany are linked by a long-run equilibrium relationship. Spatial market integration, however, does not hold among all counties in our study area. Regarding our main research question, we provide evidence for a persistent border effect given that the fraction of spatially integrated counties is larger within states than across the former border. Moreover, we observe non-significant error correction terms for many counties along the former border. From a policy perspective, it is striking to realize that even 25 years after German reunification, pronounced land price differences persist. It is quite likely that price diffusion through existing borders within the EU would take even more time given language barriers, different administrative procedures for land acquisitions, different tax systems, and information asymmetries between domestic and foreign market participants.
