Macroeconomics Department

The Macroeconomics Department analyses macroeconomic relationships using empirical and theoretical methods. The department's research is divided into three subject areas: economic policy of the European Monetary Union, macroeconomics and distribution, and macroeconomic aspects of climate change. The researchers’ work involves developing models and generating data sets. The research results form the basis for the forecasting infrastructure and policy advice. The results flow directly into the forecasts of DIW Berlin and the Joint Economic Forecast.
