Opinions

In the Opinions series, ifo President Clemens Fuest and leading researchers share their personal perspectives on current economic policy issues in Germany and Europe. The contributions provide context, highlight arguments and counterarguments, refer to empirical findings, and take a clear stance. The series combines perspectives from the ifo Institute with research results from the CESifo network. The aim is to give academia a stronger voice in the public debate and to create a sound basis for political and economic decisions.
