Monitoring Consumption Switzerland is a joint initiative of the University of St.Gallen, the University of Lausanne-E4S, and Novalytica, supported by SIX, Worldline as well as the Swiss Payments Association. We are using aggregated and anonymized payment data to shed light on consumer spending in Switzerland.
In this project, which is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), my colleagues and I analyse the following macroeconomic issues: the transmission of interest rate shocks to the housing market, the effect of tax incentives on household portfolios, and the response of real estate prices to macroeconomic shocks.
The research platform is a joint project of researchers in Economics and Finance at the University of St. Gallen. It is organised by Roland Füss and Winfried Koeniger.
