This makes reliable data and sound analyses all the more important for strategic decisions made by top management. Johannes Berger, head of the Labor Market and Social Security Research Division at the renowned economic research institute EcoAustria, examines precisely this: He analyzes how fiscal policy, demographic change, and labor market trends are interlinked. His calculations provide the basis for forward-looking investment decisions—because economic conditions and structural shifts have a direct impact on the value of major asset classes. Berger studied applied mathematics at the Vienna University of Technology and conducted research for many years at the Institute for Advanced Studies. Building on this foundation, he developed groundbreaking tools for practical application. Together with Ludwig Strohner, he created the “PuMA” model, which precisely illustrates how economic policy decisions affect government finances and income distribution. Previously, he had already set international standards in the simulation of labor markets and tax systems with the “TaxLab” tool and the “EU-LLM” model, commissioned by the European Commission. At re.comm26, Berger’s models enable executives to look beyond short-term market cycles: An aging population, new career paths, and necessary reforms to social systems are fundamentally changing the landscape for future investments. Berger’s analyses provide management with reliable guidance for identifying structural risks early on and positioning real estate portfolios to withstand future challenges.
