## Definition

Measure with the aim of providing primarily government services, but also certain operational services, as economically as possible (economical: performance-to-cost ratio) by allowing the "best host" to benefit. In pursuit of this aim, a subsidy or grant is not directed at the Service provider, such as: University canteen, staff restaurant (staff restaurant; Kantine; canteen). Rather, the recipient of the service is the student, the staff (demand-side financing means to channel public funds for public and/or private uses to the demanders and not to those who supply it). - In this way, - the freedom of choice of the demanders is ensured in the best possible way, - their decision-making power is increased, - competition arises between the service providers - in the example: different restaurants - which - lowers the price for the service and - improves its quality without having to spend more payments. - See Elterngeld, Erziehungsgeld, Kindergeld, Markt, vollkommener, MofaGeld, Preis.
