    Rohölpreise beruhigt, aber Unsicherheit bleibt. DIW Berlin erwartet Preise im OPEC-Zielkorridor

    Prices for crude oil will probably soon again be levelling out between 22 to 28 dollars per barrel, a price span that is also favoured by the OPEC. However, prices are expected to level off at the upper edge of the span. In its current weekly report 39/2001 the DIW Berlin points out that such a price level may be too high in view of the current situation of the global economy. It is, therefore, also ...

    Wohnsituation von Ausländern. DIW Berlin: Trotz Verbesserung immer noch großer Abstand zu deutschen Haushalten

    Housing conditions for foreigners have clearly improved since the end of 1985 in West-Germany. At that time about 15% of foreign households had no bathroom. This number fell to 2% in 1998. In addition to that the number of households without central heating fell to 16% which is a cut by half. Each foreigner has about 31 square meters at his disposal, three square meters more than in 1985.

    Forschungs- und Innovationssysteme in Europa.DIW Berlin zur Rolle von privaten und öffentlichen Forschungseinrichtungen

    The determined and expansionary measures taken by the US-American economic policy give rise to the assumption that the heavy slide in the economic activity will not result in a recession but will be overcome as early as this year. This conclusion was reached by the DIW Berlin in its latest weekly report 23/2001. It is above all the Fed's promotion of growth and employment that gives a positive ...

    Wohnungsmarkt in Russland: Enttäuschende Bilanz

    Conditions on the Russian housing market have barely improved since the transformation of the country.

Since flats in most regions are no longer distributed by the state there are hardly any reliable data on the number of persons ...

    Die Lage der Weltwirtschaft und der deutschen Wirtschaft im Frühjahr 2001

    The global expansion has slowed down noticeably since the middle of the year 2000. At the same time, a phase of especially high dynamics came to an end. On the one hand, it was decisive that the increase in oil prices stemmed economic activity. On the other hand, monetary policy slowed down in order to reduce the high pace of the economy by the middle of the year and to decrease accelerated inflation. ...

    Rohölpreise bleiben zunächst hochDIW Berlin rechnet mit einem Preis von 22 bis 28 Dollar je Barrel

    The OPEC will succeed in keeping the prices for crude oil between 22 and 28 dollars per barrel. This conclusion is reached by the DIW in its weekly report.

    There is no erosion of the average contracts of employment in the German labour market states the DIW Berlin in its latest weekly report.
