This figure is striking.
It shows the relationship between where people think they are in the income distribution and where they actually are.
Observations below the line indicate that people think they are poorer than they really are (and the reverse above the line).
What do you notice?

How big are German fiscal multipliers? 🧵
Quite big: 1.0 for infra/defence and 0.2 for EZ spillovers, *at least*
For starters, the proposed package is very large in historical context. 1/

Der Staat kauft jedes Jahr für ca. 350-550 Milliarden Euro Waren und Dienstleistungen ein. Dabei will er eigentlich auch auf die Nachhaltigkeit achten. Doch unsere Studie zeigt: Nur ein kleiner Teil der Aufträge erfolgt nach Nachhaltigkeitskriterien. (fw) bertelsmann-stiftung.de/de/u…
