Performance of Economic Indicators in the Age of Digitalization

The age of digitalization has taken a quantum leap with the pandemic. Many nations have started to invest in the area of information technologies.

This ongoing process stimulated the creation, collection, and use of more and more data. But then among several others, an important question arises: how do the technological advances change the importance, interpretation and use of early indicators in the data world of ultra-high frequency dissemination?

The need for detailed research on several new, early and key economic indicators challenges even the experts of the area. It becomes vital to find alternative approaches for evaluating the  significance of early indicators.

At the conference, we welcome papers which deal with every aspect of data creation for economic research and business cycle analysis.

This might improve our understanding of the economy and may lead to better forecasts of the business cycle.
