Initial situation/policy problem
Due to the lack of official statistics, IfM Bonn has been estimating the number of upcoming company transfers in Germany at regular intervals since the mid-1990s. The next estimate is scheduled for 2025.
Research goals/approach
The aim of the project is to estimate the number of company transfers expected to take place between 2026 and 2030. The current estimation method will be reviewed in light of new data sources that may allow for still more accurate estimates than before.
