    I analyze the joint efficiency of export and import forecasts by leading economic research institutes for the years 1970 to 2017 for Germany in a multivariate setting. To this end, I compute, in a first step, multivariate random forests in order to model links between forecast errors and a forecaster's information set, consisting of several trade and other macroeconomic predictor variables. I use the Mahalanobis distance as performance criterion and, in a second step, permutation tests to check whether the Mahalanobis distance between the predicted forecast errors for the trade forecasts and actual forecast errors is significantly smaller than under the null hypothesis of forecast efficiency. I find evidence for joint forecast inefficiency for two forecasters, however, for one forecaster I cannot reject joint forecast efficiency. For the other forecasters, joint forecast efficiency depends on the examined forecast horizon. I find evidence that real macroeconomic variables as opposed to trade variables are inefficiently included in the analyzed trade forecasts. Finally, I compile a joint efficiency ranking of the forecasters.

    Wissen und Macht sehen sich in der Wissenschaft in besonderer Weise miteinander verbunden. Erstens, da Wissenschaft immer auch von Subjekten betrieben wird, zweitens, da sie in Institutionen betrieben wird, wie Hochschulen, Schulen usw., die wiederum teil eines Staatsapparates sind, der hegemoniale Wissbarkeiten und die Feststellung, dessen was Wissenschaftlichkeit ist und Wissenschaftswert hat, steuert. Die Beiträge aus den Bereichen Didaktik, Diversity Mangement, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft, Pädagogik und Soziologie, die in diesem Band vereint sind, zielen auf eine queer-feministische Wissens(schafts)kritik ab. Nicht nur kritische und emanzipierende Forschung soll dadurch angeregt, sondern auch herausgestellt werden, wie vielfältige Lebensweisen erfahrbar, sagbar, wissbar und vermittelbar gestaltet werden können.<ger>

    The paper describes the "Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) Forecasting Dashboard (ForDas)". This tool aims at providing, on a non-commercial basis, historical and actual macroeconomic forecast data for the Germany economy to researchers and interested audiences. The database renders it possible to directly compare forecast quality across selected institutions and over time. It is partly based on data collected in the DFG-funded project "Macroeconomic Forecasts in Great Crises".

    I evaluate German export growth and import growth forecasts published by eight professional forecasters for the years 1971 to 2019. The focus of the evaluation is on the weak and strong efficiency as well as the unbiasedness of the forecasts. To this end, I use a novel panel-data set and estimate fixed-effects models taking into account panel-corrected standard errors. For the full time period, I find that both export and import growth forecasts are weakly but not strongly efficient. Unbiasedness depends on the forecast horizon being analyzed, with longer-term four-quarter-ahead forecasts being biased. I, furthermore, check for a possible change in forecasting behavior after incisive economic events in recent German history. I find that the strong efficiency of the forecasts did not change substantially over time. However, there is a change in forecasting behavior regarding the weak form of efficiency after the financial crisis 2008/2009.
