Berlin taz | About "quacks, with the title of Professor" and that "winning the lottery is more likely than a correct forecast of the economy", scolded the left party, as the came out, the "German Council of economic experts for the assessment of overall economic development" could be mentioned in his economic forecasts in 14 years, not a single Time the correct number.

After all, the body is approaching equality, at least one type of mathematical correctness. It is still not clearly spoken the last word, but there is evidence to suggest that the five-member Council, also known as the "economic wise men", should in future be staffed with two women.

This would be the first Time 56 years after its inception. The first 40 years of the political Advisory body to the Federal government sat in the most important economic, not a single Economist. Now, however, the regulations of the Federal bodies law enforced, providing for the joint occupation.

So it writes the Süddeutsche Zeitung and called two names, which is not a surprise to all. The New the Munich competition economist Monika Schnitzer as well as the Nuremberg-based behavioural economist Veronika Grimm seem to. For this, Isabel Schnabel, and Christoph M. Schmidt would retire on a rotational basis.

Schnitzer and Grimm sat together in one Commission for more investment activity, the former Minister of the economy Sigmar Gabriel (SPD), called 2014. Its former Chairman, Marcel Fratzscher, the head of the German Institute for economic research, tweeted on Wednesday, the New very good economist to be "on the inside and would be a great gain for the German Council of economic experts, in every respect".

What is meant gender political progress, has the content hardly effects. Schnitzer has held since 1996, is chair of the comparative economic research at the University of Munich and was already several times as a way in the conversation.

criticism of your craft, you abgebügelt last: Who is calling as the followers of the Plural Economics a Rethinking of the classical doctrine and content of teaching "critical reflection" will, not simply paying attention, she said in an Interview. Student representatives of the University of Munich, the uptake of alternative concepts are in the curriculum, dismissing it cool to have "in the Lectures some" not noticed.

Schnitzer is well connected in your Guild: 2015 to 2016 was Chairman of the Association for social policy of the greatest German economists club. She is also a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and was a consultant to the EU Commission in competition matters.

While Carver as more of a Union is close to standing, is Veronika Grimm of the University of Erlangen, publicly entered, as yet, hardly in appearance. Whether the behavior of an economist on issues such as minimum wage, or "debt brake" could join in the discussion in the panel at eye height, is questionable, but from your other profile "fits you well", you hear from the economic point near the circles.

The scientist (Born in 1971) with respect to Innovation and technology, namely a new color in the Council. Grimm holds a chair in Economic theory at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and was there in the past year, the Director of the new centre is hydrogen. Whether the forecasts of the Council are the women better? "No responsible Economist believes the future can be precisely predicted", said Monika Schnitzer.
