About this research

The time series places media sentiment alongside an economic indicator. Blue and red represent coverage about Germany and foreign economies; green represents the ifo index. Media tone and the ifo index use different scales. The historical series ends in July 2026; co-movement alone does not establish causation or forecasting accuracy.
