Economic analysis and forecasting in the global economy and in emerging and developing regions including Africa : how informative is the Ifo World Economic Survey (WES)?

Economists around the world rely in addition to official statistics on business (and consumer) surveys, which are more up-to-date. However, for many emerging and developing countries there is a lack of such surveys. This gap can, at least partly, be filled by the Ifo World Economic Survey (WES)....
