What Does an EU Unemployment Benefits Scheme Offer the Eurozone?
The European debt crisis has set off a debate about deeper fiscal integration in the European Union. For a while now, there have been discussions about introducing an unemployment benefits scheme to stabilize economic development in the eurozone. Mathias Dolls, deputy head of ZEW's Research Group "International Distribution and Redistribution", talks about the chances and risks for the eurozone associated with a common unemployment insurance scheme.

Statement
In the Wake of Trump's Victory, Uncertainty
On 8 November 2016, 59 million US voters – just 30 per cent of the electorate – selected Donald Trump as 45th President of the United States. Trump is a quintessential outsider, a real-estate magnate and reality television star whose appeal is based largely on his promise to upend the political establishment. During his campaign, Trump decried the election process as "rigged" and also waged various attacks against the existing political and economic system.

International ReCapNet Conference on Behavioural Real Estate at ZEW
Does the original purchase price of a house have any effect on its estimated sale price even decades later? What characteristics of a family determine whether their children will ever own their own home? And how does our level of self control influence our decision over whether to buy property through debt-based financing or not? These are just a few of the questions surrounding behavioural economic approaches in property investment that were discussed by around 20 international guest speakers on 3 and 4 November in Mannheim.

Statement
The Looming Giants
A recent article in The Economist raised concerns about the disproportionate economic power wielded by giant global corporations. Earlier this year, in April, the US Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) published a study about the worrying rise in the market concentration of the most powerful American companies. In 1994, the hundred largest companies generated 33 per cent of US GDP; by 2013, that figure had risen to 46 per cent. In response, President Obama ordered that the CEA report to him every six months with recommendations on actions that eliminate barriers to competition. The situation in Germany paints a somewhat different picture.

Questions & Answers
How Will We Work in the Digitised World of the Future?
The digitisation of work has become one of the watchwords of the 21st century. As companies and markets keep up with rapid advances in the digital economy to stay competitive, sceptics fear that the automatization of labour will lead to massive job cuts. The ZEW labour market economist Melanie Arntz discusses what this means for workers and businesses in German and in Europe in general.

The German SMEs – Successfully Exploited Market Niches Are No Guarantee for Future Success
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany rely on specialisation and finding niches in the market. This continues to be a model for success in the future. Markets and products are, however, subject to constant change. In order to maintain their success, SMEs must maximise their ability to strategize. This is the finding of a new study carried out by the Centre for European Economics Research (ZEW) and Prognos, on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.

Businesses Require Employees to Be More Flexible in the Working World 4.0
The progressing digitalisation is changing the competency and qualification requirements of employees among businesses in the manufacturing and services sector: employees are increasingly expected to adapt to the changed processes in the working world 4.0. At the same time, businesses consider the German educational system flexible enough to adapt to the changing requirements of the digital era. These are the findings of a recent representative survey among businesses conducted by the Mannheim Centre for Economic Research (ZEW) in collaboration with the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nürnberg, on behalf of the National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech).

Economic Expectations Rise for the Third Consecutive Month
The ZEW-CS Indicator for the economic sentiment in Switzerland continues to improve in November 2016. Compared to the previous month, it increased by 3.7 points to a current reading of 8.9 points. This marks the third successive rise of the indicator. In contrast, the assessment of the current economic situation in Switzerland deteriorates: the corresponding indicator declines by 3.2 points to a level of 14.7 points. Almost three quarters of the surveyed experts expect the economic development to remain unchanged within the next six months. Furthermore, a large majority of 85 per cent of the respondents considers the current economic situation to be normal.

ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment
Sentiment Continues to Improve – US Election Affects Economic Expectations
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany has increased substantially in November 2016. The index has improved by 7.6 points compared to October, now standing at 13.8 points (long-term average: 24.0 points). "The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment has increased for the fourth consecutive time – not least due to the positive economic figures seen in the US and China. The renewed increase is indicative of a stronger economic growth in the coming six months. The election of Donald Trump as US President and the resulting political and economic uncertainties, however, have made an impact.
After the election, the economic sentiment has been less positive than before," comments ZEW President Professor Achim Wambach.

Digitisation Makes Further Training Necessary
One in two businesses in the German business economy expects job and task profiles to change as a result of the progressing digitisation in the next two years. Against this backdrop, around 67 per cent of the businesses consider further training on topics relevant for digitisation as very important or important for the company. The share of companies giving a high or very high priority to further training is particularly large in the highly digitalised ICT sector.
These are the findings of the Monitoring Report DIGITAL Economy 2016, conducted by the Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in collaboration with TNS Infratest, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.

Price Increases for the Last Mile Increases Demand for High-Speed Broadband Internet
The increase in prices for the last mile causes a demand increase for high-speed, fibre-based technologies among households. Such price increases prompt customers to replace slower, copper-based wire technologies with high-speed fibre-optic cables. Nevertheless, it is not enough for policy-makers to make price adjustments so as to accelerate the expansion of fibre-based broadband technologies and to increase demand for broadband services on a national and EU level. Instead, new instruments need to be introduced, particularly on the customer side.
These are the findings of a study by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), which analysed EU-wide pricing policies for the last mile.

Minimum Wage – Burden on Young Companies Greater than Expected
The statutory minimum wage, which became binding in Germany on a national level in 2015, has proved to be a greater burden on young companies than previously expected. Besides the necessary wage adjustments, start-ups have also been struggling with additional bureaucratic requirements, such as time sheets and less flexibility regarding compensation schemes. As a result, young companies may suffer from negative effects. These are the findings of a survey among start-ups conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) within the framework of the Mannheim Start-up Panel.

According to the twelve-month moving average of the ZEW-ZEPHYR M&A Index, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with or by German businesses continue on the path to new highs. Besides a minor downward trend in 2015, the twelve-month average, which is based on the number of M&As, has grown continually since the beginning of the merger wave back in 2011. In August 2016, the twelve-month average reached a level of 96 index points, which is the highest value observed since 2009.

Special Study: Foreign Trade Risks and Impact of Brexit on the German Economy
The imminent departure of Great Britain from the European Union won't affect Germany in terms of foreign trade as much as it does other economies, such as Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. This is the result of a preliminary analysis in the latest Country Index for Family Enterprises, carried out by the Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) on behalf of the Foundation for Family Businesses. The index shows that the pharmaceutical industry is the German sector that will be most affected by Brexit due to its high dependency on export.
Several branches of the transportation industry – including aerospace and railway construction – are also considered vulnerable since they are exposed to high import risks.
