The Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) of Germany was 99.53 in September 2024, compared with 98.59 a year earlier. Consumer confidence in Germany had been falling from Summer 2021 until November 2022, with fears that the German economy's reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic would not be as positive as was initially imagined due to inflationary pressures, while the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, causing energy prices in Germany to spike, further dampened business confidence. In spite of relatively slow growth between 2023 and 2024, business confidence has somewhat returned to Germany, likely due to falling energy prices and decreases in inflation.

The study at hand is a pioneer work of compiling statistical materials on the German national income in a comparable form for a period of more than 100 years. This is meant to be a cornerstone of the detailed analysis of the growth process of the German national economy. As a matter of fact, the structural changes of the German economy within the last 100 years can be presented by means of cross-sectional analysises for certain points of time. Thus essential facts as related to economic history are arranged in a systematic order as well. In addition, time series are analysed in order to make the explanation of the underlying development possible. Consequently, the findings resulting from this study could offer a primary basis for the verification of theories on growth, and for the judgment of future chances of development. Due to considerable efforts in this regard, such estimated figures on the national income are disposable for several countries. In this context, the study in hand closes the gap in the German statistical reports in the mentioned field. The study proves that, in this field of research, many difficulties have to be overcome; above all, it must be stated that the statistical materials are partly incomplete and make the realisation of such a project appear venturesome. However, the results prove that taking the risk pays off in the end. So the authors pin their hopes on an ensuing evaluation, as far as feasible, of the obtained data. Additionally, they would appreciate if these data were completed by means of criticism and new research, whereby different methods could be applied as well. According to its purpose, the study in hand is limited to the presentation of statistical materials without interpreting them. The attempt to evaluate the results of this study in order to provide an analysis on the growth rate of the German national economy seems premature yet; the work accomplished so far is simply not sufficient. Apart from the lack of absolute figures on the national income, a detailed structural analysis of the German national income has still not been completed for this purpose. In fact, the focus of the analysis lies on the determination of nominal values for the national income. Details on the real income, on the other hand, are restricted to a brief analysis, as the authors are of the opinion that the disposible price series are insufficient as regards a study on the real income. It is beyond doubt that they cannot imply all major components, in particularly those of earlier periods. The named long-term work has been made possible by the financial support of the Social Science Research Council and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; the latter has also contribute to the printing costs. In their turn, the authors would like to express their gratefulness for the generous assistance on the part of these two institutions.” (W.G. Hoffmann / J.H. Müller (1959), S. V-VI).

The starting point of Tilly’s investigation is Hoffmann’s interpretation of the relationship between finance and economic growth (see: W.G. Hoffmann and others, 1965: The growth of the German economy since the mid-19th century, Berlin et al.). Tilly thinks that Hoffman’s interpretation of the relationship is problematical. In the center of Tilly’s analysis is the capital market, i.e. the stock exchange; the credit banks remained in the field of view, because they were in the period from 1880 to 1913 the most important players of the capital market: as an agent in the context of the security flotations and as creditors in the context of exchange businesses of all kinds. To bring out the significance of the capital market for Germany’s economic development more clearly, Tilly verifies not only the development of the market with collected data and information on the development of the German economy, but he also compares two national economies with the aim to stress the influence of a given institutional structure at the historical observed economic growth. Tilly compares Germany and Great Britain. On the German part the influence of the large banks is in the center of the attention, because a close relationship between the development of large German banks and the development of heavy industry is suspected. Compard with Germany Great Britain has exported a large proportion of its savings into other countries. Against this background, Tilly wants to analyze whether significant differences between the British and the German capital market for the support of industrial growth can be identified (see Tilly, R. (1984): S. 264ff).

This study aims at an empirical verification of the historical importance of the German railways on the basis of new quantitative data with respect to the development of the transport system. In this process, older sources which had been widely neglected have been utilised and regrouped.
Within the scope of a leading sector analysis, this study focuses on the mechanism of a continuos industrialisation within the railway sector using the example of Germany. Thereby the theoretical conceptions concerning the economic growth constitute a suitable analytic frame to derive the systematic background for the collection and presentation of the quantitative data materials on the German railway sector. In this respect, the choice of quantifying variables aims at a selective verification of relevant facts in connection with growth-related theories. In conclusion, the author explains the Industrial Revolution in Germany as a growth process fuelled by individual sectors. “The highest aim should consist in a synthesis of economic theories and history in order to allow historians, on the other hand, to gain a deeper insight into the course of the Industrial Revolution in Germany resulting from explicit research objectives and hypotheses; on the other hand, a thorough re-examination of certain hypothesises which have not been proved empirically should enable and incite theoretical researchers studying national economies to deliver newly revised analyses in this field.” (Fremdling [1985], S. 1). By means of a connection between explicit questions and hypotheses gained from economic theory and the above-named systematically compiled data, this study examines the contribution of the railway sector to the industrialisation of Germany, e.g. the importance of the passenger traffic, the enormous expansion of the railway net in the course of the 1840s, and the strong impact of the railway industry on the national economy. Indeed, these factors resulted in the fact that – according to Rainer Fremdling’s findings – the contribution of the railway construction to the development of the heavy industry in Germany has been far greater than e.g. in Great Britain or the US. Furthermore, this study pursues the important question about the importance of the governmental influence concerning the industrialisation in Germany. For instance, the study reveals the fact that military conceptions concerning the expansion of the railway net were definitely only of minor importance. Quite on the contrary, the study clarifies that governmental interventions were more or less an obstacle to the development and extension of the railway system in its founding phase. Among others, Fremdling’s study contains the following important conclusions: (a) The Industrial Revolution in Germany should be considered as a growth process in accordance with the development pattern of the so-called “unbalanced growth” with the railway system as a primary growth factor. (b) In Germany, the railway system has to be regarded as a “ground-breaking” force to boost the economic growth in the 19th century.

Variations of growth, as well as short-term cyclical variations, can be measured by different indicators. The current research relies on two measuring concepts, i.e. multivariate diffusion indeces or the national product. For the period from 1851 to 1913, there are four time series available regarding the development of the German NNP, notably the calculation of formation, distribution and application by Hoffmann (1965), and the calculation of distribution by Hoffmann and Müller (1959). ´In this article, we contribute to the ongoing debate about the data quality by presenting improvements of all four available series. In particular, we improve the output series by calculating a new Index of industrial production and by basing the index on a revised value of industrial output in 1913. In addition, we significantly enhance the capital sock and net investment series, and we present new data about capital income. Furthermore, we present a new series of net foreign capital income. Finally, we add new information about "indirect taxes" to the income and output series, and we thus calculate four series representing an NNP in market prices. Despite our significant improvements, differences between the series remain, and we solve this problem in a second step by computing a compromise estimate of Germany´s NNP for the years 1851 to 1913 as a weighted average of the four corrected original series. The remaining parts of the article analyze long-term growth and business cycles of the German economy employing the new compromise estimate. The revised data show a higher level of economic activity for 1851 as well as for 1913, but with a larger difference for 1851. Thus, the average growth rate of the German economy was lower during the industrialization period. Moreover, the driving force of this growth was a growing total factor productivity, which in turn was driven by structural change from agriculture to industry. The business cycles of the German economy had an average length of about five years during the second half of the nineteenth century; the magnitude of cycles was weaker in the last quarter of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century than before. Of special interest is our business cycle dating for the 1870s: with the new data the well-known pattern of "Gründerzeit"-boom and "Gründerzeit"-depression can not be confirmed.´ (Burhop, C. / Wolff, G.
