Abstract

Der multisektorale Sammelindikator für die Schweizer Gesamtkonjunktur weist gegenüber eine Reihe von methodischen Innovationen auf und berücksichtigt eine vergleichsweise grosse Anzahl von Indikatorreihen. Für den Stützbereich von 1991 bis 2002 erhalten wir auf Quartalsbasis einen stabilen Vorlauf von zwei Quartalen vor der Referenzreihe Vorjahreswachstumsrate des BIP, und auch die Niveaus der Wachstumsrate werden gut getroffen. Der neue Sammelindikator zeigt auch gute "out of sample" Prognoseeigenschaften, und zwar sowohl bezüglich des Vorlaufs als auch hinsichtlich der Niveaus der Referenzreihe.
