The Economic Consequences of the Energy Price Crisis as Exemplified by the Pharmaceutical Industry in Germany

The Economic Consequences of the Energy Price Crisis as Exemplified by the Pharmaceutical Industry in Germany

Jasmina Kirchhoff / Simon Schumacher

The halting of the Russian gas supply is threatening the attractiveness of Germany as an industrial location. Not only has the energy price crisis led to significantly increased producer prices in the industrial sector.

Pharmaceuticals in Transition: The Need for Skilled Labour in an Era of Digital Transformation

Jasmina Kirchhoff / Lydia Malin / Simon Schumacher

The shortage of skilled workers is increasingly confronting companies in Germany with major challenges. In view of the demographic and transformational tasks, there is a considerable danger that this situation will exacerbate.

Where the German Pharmaceutical Industry Sources its Intermediate Inputs: An International Comparison

Jasmina Kirchhoff

The Corona pandemic has led to increasing demands for the reshoring of pharmaceutical production back to Germany. A strategic dependence on non-European active ingredient and drug manufacturers is cited as an argument.

More medicines "made in Germany" via international networking

Jasmina Kirchhoff

The Corona pandemic has put the German pharmaceutical industry more than ever in the focus of political and social discussions. At an unprecedented speed, pharmaceutical companies have developed and brought to market four vaccines approved in Europe – German companies have played a major role in this success.

Is There a Shortage of Skilled Workers in the German Pharmaceutical Industry?

Is There a Shortage of Skilled Workers in the German Pharmaceutical Industry?

Anastasia Diel / Jasmina Kirchhoff

Due to its specific employment structure, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly being affected by Germany’s widely attested labour shortage. Although in general companies in the sector are actually less affected by bottlenecks than other industries, this is no reason for complacency.

The Regional Employment Structure of Knowledge-Intensive Industries as Exemplified by the Pharmaceutical Industry
IW-Trends No. 3 25. September 2014

The Regional Employment Structure of Knowledge-Intensive Industries as Exemplified by the Pharmaceutical Industry

Jasmina Kirchhoff

Research-intensive sectors such as pharmaceuticals are a favourite focus of regional policy thanks to their favourable growth prospects. Since, in Germany, the importance of the pharmaceutical industry for regional manufacturing centres and the range and levels of skills in the sector itself differ widely from region to region, it is particularly suitable for an analysis of how factors such as industrial structure and human capital influence the regional significance and skill structures of knowledge-intensive industries. The results of the study suggest that, when locating plants, pharmaceutical companies consider both the structure of local manufacturing and the local population’s level of education. However, other factors seem to be more important for the development of the regional employment structure.
