Abstract

Aufgrund der Rekordjagd des ifo Geschäftsklimaindex in den vergangenen Monaten wurde vereinzelt die Aussagekraft des Konjunkturindikators in Frage gestellt. Der Artikel gibt einen kurzen Überblick, wie dieser richtig zu interpretieren ist. Es zeigt sich, dass vor allem die Veränderung des ifo Geschäftsklimaindex betrachtet werden muss, wenn eine Aussage über den Verlauf des Bruttoinlandsprodukts getroffen werden soll.
