Forecasting Center
The Forecasting Center produces regular forecasts for the world economy and for Germany in particular. The Center cooperates with other economic research institutes in Germany in the joint economic forecast and in the European context with the EUROFRAME group and the AIECE. A major event for the Center is the traditional "Kieler Konjunkturgespräch". At this conference, the outlook for the world economy and current issues of economic policy are discussed with international experts. Other projects include the regular report on subsidies in Germany. A central task for the Center is to evaluate economic policies, especially monetary and fiscal policy, and to give advice to policy makers on the basis of the analysis of macroeconomic developments.
