Abstract

Mit einem Markov-Switching-Modell können die monatlichen Veränderungen des ifo Geschäftsklimas in Wahrscheinlichkeiten für die beiden konjunkturellen Regime »Expansion« bzw. «Kontraktion« umgesetzt werden. Diese Wahrscheinlichkeiten – abgebildet in der ifo Konjunkturampel – liefern für die Früherkennung konjunktureller Wendepunkte wichtige Informationen. Die Umstellung der Saisonbereinigung des ifo Geschäftsklimas auf das Census- X-13ARIMA-SEATSVerfahren machte auch eine Neuberechnung der ifo Konjunkturampel erforderlich. Der Beitrag präsentiert Methodik und Ergebnisse.
