85 Jahre WIFO: Gedanken zu Geschichte und Zukunft des Institutes

Abstract

Seit der Gründung vor 85 Jahren ist es eine Kernaufgabe des WIFO, Brücken zwischen Theorie, Empirie und Politik zu bauen. Aus theoretischen Modellen werden auf Grundlage bestmöglich aufbereiteter empirischer Daten Empfehlungen für eine evidenzbasierte Wirtschaftspolitik abgeleitet. Diese Aufgabe kann nur durch exzellente Forschung und Organisation sowie Vielfalt der Methoden und der Erkenntniswege erfüllt werden. Das WIFO übernimmt als Qualitätsführer in der österreichischen Wirtschaftsforschung zunehmend kompetitiv vergebene Studien und Aufträge in der europäischen Forschungs- und Beratungslandschaft. Die künftigen Herausforderungen für das Institut bestehen darin, in einem sehr anspruchsvollen Umfeld die Konjunktur sowie die mittelfristige Entwicklung und Wettbewerbsstärke Österreichs und Europas zu analysieren und daraus Reformideen für ein sozioökonomisches Modell zu entwerfen, das neue Prioritäten wie Offenheit, Dynamik, soziale Absicherung und Inklusion sowie ökologische Nachhaltigkeit und Transformation vereint.
