ifo Institute new partner beginning Q3/2017
The world is in motion, this is a time of different thinking and digital action – which makes it all the more important to possess a reliable compass. Since 2008, the Logistics Indicator of BVL has served as a valuable tool for strategists and planners in logistics. It helps them to find their bearings and acts as a seismograph for a highly internationally interlinked sector of the economy that employs more than three million people in Germany.
After nine years of successful cooperation with the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), the BVL is now developing the Logistics Indicator further together with the ifo Institute – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at Munich University – using a considerably expanded data basis that will further enhance the robustness and validity of the Indicator. The Scientific Director is Prof. Dr. Timo Wollmershäuser, and this collaboration with the ifo Institute permits us to integrate the BVL Logistics Indicator with the ifo Business Climate Index, thereby ensuring improved comparability and allowing us to more effectively determine the position and status of logistics relative to other sectors of the economy.
