getragen

German to English Social Sciences History medieval history
Investitionen am spätmittelalterlichen Immobilienmarkt können daher sowohl von allgemeinen Wirtschaftskonjunkturen als auch dem Lebens- und Berufszyklus der Marktteilnehmer getragen gewesen sein.

Any ideas what getragen means in this case? I'm a little confused.

I think this is what the text is trying to say.

'Investitionen ... getragen' is sometimes used in this context

I also thought of "lifted by" but that's like "angehoben" and possibly more than is implied here
