ifo Dresden
The Dresden branch, founded by the ifo Institute in 1993, conducts empirical economic research that focusses to the special concerns of the East German federal states and, in particular, the Free State of Saxony. Most of the contributions of ifo Dresden is policy-driven, which means that it intends to provide policymakers with propositions for focused action. For example, ifo Dresden examines how structural change can be supported in a specific and socially acceptable manner, which factors influence economic developments specifically in the Free State of Saxony, and how current and future fiscal policy challenges can be responded to. The effects of demographic change are also considered as a cross-sectoral theme. Many of the research findings can be applied to other structurally underdeveloped regions in Germany.
