  • Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008
    Economic History Working Papers No: 250/2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY WORKING PAPERS NO. 250 - SEPTEMBER 2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Abstract This paper estimates regional GDP for three different geographical levels in Switzerland. My analysis of regional inequality rests on a heuristic model featuring an initial growth impulse in one or several core regions and subsequent diffusion. As a consequence of the existence of multiple core regions Swiss regional inequality has been comparatively low at higher geographical levels. Spatial diffusion of economic growth has occurred across different parts of the country and within different labor market regions at the same time. This resulted in a bell- shape evolution of regional inequality at the micro regional level and convergence at higher geographical levels. In early and in late stages of the development process, productivity differentials were the main drivers of inequality, whereas economic structure was determinant between 1888 and 1941. Keywords: Regional data, inequality, industrial structure, productivity, comparative advantage, switzerland JEL Codes: R10, R11, N93, N94, O14, O18 Acknowledgements: I thank Heiner Ritzmann-Blickensdorfer and Thomas David for sharing their data on value added by industry with me.

  • National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF)
    National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF) Type of document: Policy Brief, Statistical Analysis Expert groups involved: Tanja Stadler, expert group Data and Date of response: 08/12/2020 Modelling, expert group Economics, expert group leaders Contact person: Tanja Stadler On regional differences in the second wave. Executive summary: In October-November, the Romandy became a COVID19 hotspot in Switzerland and in Europe. Here we explore the reasons for this development by contrasting the development within different regions of Switzerland between mid-April and mid- November. Confirmed case data suggests that the Romandy became a hotspot due to higher incidence at the end of summer compared to the rest of Switzerland, and not due to faster growth of the epidemic during fall. Case numbers in the first half of November decreased fastest in the Romandy where also the strictest measures were implemented. The latest developments of the epidemic across regions are discussed in the Scientific Update (09.12.20). Main text The four cantons Vaud, Neuchatel, Geneva and Jura use French as the only official language and thus fully belong to the Romandy. The cantons Fribourg, Valais and Bern are officially bi-lingual (French and German). We perform analyses on the canton level below. In this document Fribourg and Valais are considered to be part of the Romandy, whilst Bern is not. Additionally, we consider the seven greater regions of Switzerland. Romandy is part of Lake Geneva Region and Espace Mittelland. The other five regions are Eastern Switzerland, Northwestern Switzerland, Central Switzerland, Zurich, and Ticino. All data presented in this document is publicly available data from the Federal Office of Public Health (confirmed case numbers) and the KOF Swiss Economic Institute (stringency).

  • Media Release
    Media Release Zurich, 3 November 2015, 10.30 Results of KOF Business Tendency Surveys from October 2015 KOF Business Situation Indicator Given a Slight Boost, but Still at Low Level The business situation of companies in Switzerland improved slightly in October compared with the previous month. However, the boost to the Business Situation Indicator is slight and, overall, the In- dicator has been at a comparatively low level for six months, with slight fluctuations. The companies’ business situation is clearly worse than at the same time in the previous year. With regard to the coming six months, quiet confidence can be observed in the companies’ business expectations. On the whole, survey participants do not expect business to deteriorate further. However, the Swiss econ- omy has only just set foot on the road out of its trough. Business situation by region From a regional perspective, the business situation in Northwestern Switzerland and in the Zurich region developed positively in October. The business situation has also recovered slightly in the Lake Geneva area. In all other regions – Central Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, Espace Mittelland and Ticino, the business situation has deteriorated. In comparison with the situation at the beginning of the year, before the lower limit for the franc was lifted, pronounced drops were apparent, particularly in Eastern Switzerland and Espace Mittelland. Development by economic area The slight improvement in the business situation in the Swiss private sector touches all industries covered by KOF in its business surveys, with one exception. In comparison with the preceding survey in July, the situation in the manufacturing industry, retail and wholesale trades, hospitality, project planning, financial services and other services providers has improved slightly.

  • Swiss Economy – Some Areas
    Global CIO Office Swiss Economics Swiss economy – some areas flourishing, others struggling Monitor Switzerland | Q2 2021 Swiss Economy Focus Monetary policy Swiss economy in Forecast for hospitality – Opportunistic foreign recovery boom mode what last year taught us currency sales Page 6 Page 11 Page 20 Swiss Economics | Q2 2021 2 Editorial Dear readers The Swiss economy has withstood the coronavirus pandemic with remarkably little damage so far, at least if we take gross domestic product (GDP) as the yardstick: Despite the massive second wave of infections, GDP has rebounded close to its pre-crisis level. Moreover, thanks to the progress of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign and the intensified test- ing regime, the pandemic continues to recede. As a result, the economic outlook for the second half of 2021 looks extremely positive, as we illustrate in our article containing forecasts for the Swiss economy on page 6. On the one hand, the manufacturing sector is recovering on the back of above-average global demand; and it does so even so quickly that there is a scarcity of certain goods. On the other hand, activity in the majority of service industries is bouncing back quasi-au- tomatically after the easing of pandemic containment measures. However, this positive overall development conceals an extremely difficult situation in individual sectors, first and foremost hospitality. In the pandemic-hit year of 2020, catering and tourism rec- orded sales slumps of 40% and 67% respectively. Only isolated segments – such as alternative accommodation and the takeaway business – benefited from the coronavirus crisis. As we illus- trate in our Focus article on page 11, the end of the tunnel is now in sight for catering, even though restrictions on the number of guests allowed at tables and capacity limitations due to social distancing rules are preventing a full sales recovery for the time being.
