Abstract: 
This paper provides new evidence on the sustainability of public finances in German states (Laender) by exploiting a newly compiled database covering the years 1950-2011. Unlike previous studies on Germany, we analyze fiscal sustainability by applying second generation panel cointegration techniques. A unique identification strategy for the selection of sub-panels improves the robustness of panel cointegration tests and reveals that Laender finances are hardly sustainable.
