Abstract

Die Güte makroökonomischer Prognosen hängt vom Konjunkturzyklus ab. Jannsen und Dovern (2017a) analysieren für 19 Länder eine Vielzahl von Prognosen für das Bruttoinlandsprodukt und zeigen, dass diese für Aufschwungphasen im Mittel zutreffend, für Rezessionen hingegen systematisch zu positiv sind. In den Veröffentlichungen institutioneller Prognostiker lassen sich tatsächlich häufig Risikoansprachen oder gesonderte Rezessionsszenarien finden, viel seltener jedoch genau datierte Rezessionen als Teil der Basisprognose. Offenbar tun sich Ökonomen schwer damit, Zeitpunkt und Ausmaß einer Rezession vorherzusagen, selbst wenn sie mit einer konjunkturellen Schwächephase rechnen.
