#ZEWPodcast // 2026#ZEWPodcast (Concise) EARIE-Exclusive: Young Economist Essay Award 2026
How do economic policy measures shape the markets – and what unintended consequences might they have? From environmental regulations and agricultural subsidies to competition in the automotive industry and the allocation of airport slots – these questions are at the heart of this year’s winning entries for the ‘Young Economist Essay Award’. The prize recognises outstanding research by young economists and is presented at the EARIE conference at the ZEW in Mannheim. In this episode, Prof. Dr Bernhard Ganglmair speaks with this year’s three prize-winners: Emma du Puy, Alejandro Sabal and Sebastián Bauer. Together, they take a closer look at their research.
