At the same time, Europe has committed itself to meet climate targets referred to as "the most ambitious climate project in the world" by the European policy-makers. All that has visible effects on the German economy. What are the consequences for companies and the key energy policy challenges? These questions were addressed at the third Parliamentary Evening of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region (MRN) titled "Deutsche Energiewende und Europaeische Klimapolitik. Was bedeutet dies fuer die Wirtschaft?" (The German Energy Transition and European Climate Policy - Economic Implications). The event was hosted by ZEW in Mannheim on February 2, 2015.

Accordingly, governments are typically willing to invest in R&D - but only when public coffers are flush. Between 2005 and 2013, the German government increased overall investment in R&D by 60 per cent to its current level of some 14.4 billion euros. By contrast, falling R&D investment has been witnessed in the European countries strongly impacted by the sovereign debt crisis. ZEW's Georg Licht, an expert in industrial economics, explains why government investment in R&D is essential - in both good times and bad.

The Greek electorate no longer appears willing to accept budget cuts and economic policy reforms. Voting in droves for Syriza, the Greeks have chosen a party promising radical change.

PRESS RELEASES 24.02.2015 - ZEW (csp/fkr/jpr) ZEW Study on Corporate Taxation in Europe: IP Box Regimes - A Double-Edged Sword for the Treasury: In several European countries, income from patents, trademarks or copyrights is taxed at a considerably lower rate than other income. Waiving taxes on intangible assets, governments aim to create incentives for companies to invest in research and development (R&D), and to pay taxes on the resulting profits in their countries. This concept is known as Intellectual Property (IP) Box regimes. This special tax treatment, however, has turned out to be a double-edged sword. A recent study conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in cooperation with the University of Mannheim found that most European IP Box regimes enable multinationals to save taxes on income from intangible assets (IP income) without actually investing in R&D.

In the current survey the ZEW-Erste Group Bank Economic Sentiment Indicator for the CEE region has increased by 14.2 points. The indicator now stands at a level of 39.3 points. The ZEW-Erste Group Bank Economic Sentiment Indicator for Central and Eastern Europe reflects the financial market experts' expectations for the CEE region on a six-month time horizon. The indicator has been compiled on a monthly basis together with further financial market data by the Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) with the support of Erste Group Bank, Vienna, since 2007.

This nosedive - the biggest in the history of the indicator - shows that in the aftermath of the removal of the EUR/CHF exchange-rate floor the financial analysts surveyed are quite unanimously forecasting a worse performance for Switzerland's economy than before this decision. The ZEW-CS Indicator reflects the expectations of the surveyed financial market experts regarding the economic development in Switzerland on a six-month time horizon. It is calculated monthly by the Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in cooperation with Credit Suisse (CS), Zurich. Read more: http://www.zew.de/en/press/2905 17.02.2015 ZEW (dre/jrr/jpr) ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment - ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment Increases Slightly: Gaining 4.6 points compared to the previous month, the ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany stands at 53.0 points in February 2015 (long-term average: 24.6 points). Reaching its highest value since February of 2014, the indicator has increased for the fourth consecutive time. "Quantitative easing by the European Central Bank and unexpectedly high economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2014 have improved sentiment among financial market experts. On the other hand, the intensification of the Ukraine crisis and the collision course of the new Greek government are dampening expectations," says ZEW President Professor Clemens Fuest.

This is the result of the current Energy Market Barometer, a unique nationwide survey of energy experts regarding their price expectations for electricity, crude oil, natural gas, and coal on the German wholesale market. The Energy Market Barometer is carried out by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW).

The CEP Indicator, which reflects the expectations of international financial experts regarding China's macroeconomic development over the next twelve months, decreases by 14.2 points to a level of minus 7.6 points in the current survey period (January 12-26, 2015). The CEP Indicator has reached negative territory for the first time since the survey began in 2013 and continues to fall short of its long-term average of 11.9 points. A negative indicator value means that the majority of analysts within the panel expect overall economic activity to shrink.

In addition to low prices, providers are increasingly trying to attract customers with a positive environmental record. Passengers are given the opportunity to offset their carbon emissions by paying an extra fee when purchasing tickets. In the long term, the idea works best if coach operators make an equal contribution to the compensation. These are the findings of a recent study by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

About 60 per cent of the executives in China believe that protection against cyber-crime is "poor" or even "very poor". This is the result of a special survey by the ZEW-PwC China Economic Barometer in the first quarter of 2015. The survey asks German companies in China about the situation and development of the Chinese real economy on a quarterly basis. The concrete danger of worldwide cyber-crime is actually demonstrated by the example of Sony Pictures. The company has recently become the victim of a spectacular cyber-attack.

The companies in the information economy sector are largely optimistic concerning the economic situation in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as the economic development in the first three months of 2015. The ZEW Economic Sentiment Indicator for the Information Economy, which is based on assessments of the current situation and on expectations, had a reading of 64.4 points at year end. This is the result of a survey in the information economy conducted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in December 2014. Read more: http://www.zew.de/en/press/2879 5.
