A Heliocentric Journey into Germany's Great Depression

Mark Weder

No 2005-13, Adelaide Economics Working Papers from Adelaide University, School of Economics

Abstract: The paper finds empirical evidence on the ripple effect of sunspots on the interwar German economy. It identifies a sequence of negative shocks to expectations for the 1927 to 1932 period. The artificial economy predicts the 1928-1932 depression and a long boom from 1933 onwards. Overall, a tangible fraction of interwar output volatility is attributed to sunspots.
