IWH’s tasks are economic research and research-based advising of economic policy. With its four research departments – Macroeconomics, Financial Markets, Structural Change and Productivity as well as Laws, Regulations and Factor Markets –, IWH conducts economic research and provides economic policy recommendations, which are founded on evidence-based research. In the focus of its research, IWH investigates processes of economic convergence and the role of the financial system regarding the (re-)allocation of production factors, structural change, the facilitation of productivity and innovation, productivity growth as well as macroeconomic dynamics and stability.
