In this project, we aim to contribute to the Priority Programme "Experience and Expectation: Historical Foundations of Economic Behaviour" by investigating the determinants and effects of business expectations in Germany after 1980. We will put a special focus on how institutional change and crises a) alter the way how expectations are formed, and b) impact on the pass-through of expectations into economic actions. In particular, we want to explore how two historic events, the introduction of the euro and the global financial crisis, have changed the chain from the determinants of expectations to price-setting and production decisions of firms.
