Business Cycle Indicator for GermanyFvS-KI
The Flossbach von Storch Business Cycle Indicator (FvS-KI) tracks actual economic activity in Germany on a monthly basis, based on a set of hard real economic data. On the basis of the FvS-KI, we perform business cycle dating for Germany. -
Culture and sustainability
Based on a previously conducted project, consisting of a thorough assessment of sustainability measurement sys-tems, Prof. Dr. Susann Kowalski and Prof. Dr. Agnieszka Gehringer are empirically investigating the relationship be-tween country-level cultural characteristics and sustainability performance. The latter is gauged by various sustainabil-ity measurement systems, among which the Sustainable Society Index (SSI), released at the TH Köln. Accordingly, the project ties in with further developments and improvements of the SSI.
