Is the EU Fit for 55 and Beyond?
Ursula von der Leyen was elected President of the European Commission by the European Parliament in July 2019. She assumed office in November 2019 and unveiled the European Green Deal in December 2019 (European Commission, 2023a) as a focal point of European politics.

Theories of Harm Because of Data
While digital platforms become more and more important for the whole society as well as the economy, regulatory reactions are also discussed and implemented.
IW
The anti‑steering provision of Article 5 (4) of the DMA: a law and economics assessment on the business model of gatekeepers and business users
Data is a success factor for digital platforms and the core of their business model. The rationale behind this is that data allows for improving the matching process between users which creates value for the platform.
IW
To share or not to share: Regulating Data Brokers
Data has become an increasingly important input in the economy. Hence, data and access to data play an increasingly key role in the global economy and for innovation and are crucial for the competitiveness of companies and the EU economy.
IW
Industrial policy at the turn of the times
The current debate on industrial policy vacillates between the extreme positions of an orthodoxy of rejecting state action and a naive belief in the state's ability to control structural change.
IW
Valuing Companies' Data
Data is becoming increasingly important both for companies and for national economies. Since the full potential of business data can only be realised when several users exploit it simultaneously, data sharing is also becoming more common.
IW
Theoretical effects of uncertainty in the evaluation of data
Businesses can benefit from effective data management and data sharing with other businesses. Data recipients can use the data for product or process optimization, for example, and data providers can receive a fee.

Single Market Emergency Instrument: A Tool with Pitfalls
In reaction to disruptions of the Single Market, the European Commission put forward an emergency instrument. It proposes far-reaching measures in order to maintain the proper functioning of the Single Market and ensure the supply and distribution of goods and services.

The Economic Impact of the 9-Euro-Ticket
The 9-Euro-Ticket, which provided a month’s unlimited travel on local and regional trains, trams and buses throughout Germany, was available from June to August 2022.

Single Market Emergency Instrument: An instrument with pitfalls
In reaction to recent disruptions concerning the Single Market, the European Commission proposed an Emergency Instrument to maintain the proper functioning of the Single Market and ensure the supply and distribution of goods and services. It provides for far-reaching measures. The dirigiste interventions in the market it allows, are to be critically questioned, while better coordination and exchange of information between the member states could be an added value of the SMEI.
