The construction of the indicator involves collecting and anonymizing credit card transactions from January 2017 to March 2024 to compute a monthly consumption indicator for Germany from January 2018 onwards. The percentage change of monthly aggregate spending from the same month a year ago is computed using a one-year lookback rolling panel methodology. Availability & Access to Replication Package Aggregate monthly and quarterly data, along with Python code, are provided to replicate the construction of the IZA / Fable Data Consumption Indicator for Germany.

This includes a comparison to official quarterly consumption data for Germany from Eurostat. The microdata used for monthly aggregates originates from Fable Data and is actively researched at the IDSC of IZA.
