Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die deutsche Wirtschaft befindet sich im Sog handelspolitischer Verunsicherungen. Der Begriff der ökonomischen Unsicherheit ist facettenreich, aber zahlreiche theoretische und empirische Studien mit unterschiedlichen Messkonzepten und Methoden zeigen: Es besteht ein klarer Zusammenhang zwischen einem Anstieg der Unsicherheit und negativen Auswirkungen auf Wirtschaftsaktivität, Handel und vor allem Investitionen. Tatsächlich weisen wichtige Indikatoren aktuell ein hohes Maß an Unsicherheit aus. Dazu zählt auch das hier vorgestellte Dispersionsmaß für die Produktionserwartungen in Deutschland auf Basis der IW-Konjunkturumfrage. Damit dürfte die gestiegene Unsicherheit zum Erlahmen der Konjunktur in Deutschland beigetragen haben.
