Abstract

Gemessen an der Wachstumsrate des realen Bruttoinlandsprodukts weist Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich in den letzten Jahren eine besonders schlechte Wirtschaftsleistung auf. Ob dies eher eine ungünstige konjunkturelle Entwicklung widerspiegelt oder ob sich dahinter eine langfristige Wachstumsschwäche verbirgt, wird hier mit Hilfe eines Strukturellen Zeitreihenmodells ermittelt. Das Modell stellt für verschiedene OECD-Länder von 1950 bis 2004 die Beiträge von Konjunktur und langfristigem Trend zu den Wachstumsraten des BIP dar. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Trendwachstumsrate seit den fünfziger Jahren in allen analysierten Ländern zurückging. Besonders stark war aber der Rückgang in Deutschland. Das heißt, dass die enttäuschende wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in Deutschland vor allem auf die niedrige langfristige Trendwachstumsrate zurückzuführen ist und deutet auf bereits seit langem bestehende Strukturprobleme in Deutschland hin.
