Die Rezession 2020: Österreich im Ländervergleich

Author

  • Stefan Schiman

Abstract

In Österreich ging die Wirtschaftsleistung 2020 im Vergleich zu anderen OECD- und EU-Ländern und insbesondere zu Deutschland und der Schweiz relativ stark zurück. Der Großteil der Ländervariation geht auf Unterschiede in pandemiebedingten Verhaltensänderungen durch Lockdowns und Social Distancing sowie auf die unterschiedliche Bedeutung tourismusabhängiger Dienstleistungen für die Gesamtwirtschaft zurück. Für Österreich erklären diese beiden Faktoren die Tiefe der Rezession vollständig. Der Unterschied zur Entwicklung in Deutschland ist im Wesentlichen auf die höhere Bedeutung des Tourismus für die heimische Wirtschaft zurückzuführen.
