#ZEWPodcast
The #ZEWPodcast “Wirklich Wirtschaft” offers direct insights into ZEW's research – understandable, up-to-date, and close to the scientists. The podcast is available in two formats: “ZEW Wirklich Wirtschaft Kompakt”, the short and concise news and explanation format, and “ZEW Wirklich Wirtschaft Background” which explores topics in greater depth and context. In the future, there will also be episodes in English.
From 2020 to 2025, the podcast ran under the title “Wirtschaft · Forschung · Debatten” (in German language only). At the end of 2025, it was relaunched and has since been renamed “ZEW Wirklich Wirtschaft”.
You can find the podcast on all popular platforms, including Podigee, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.

#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.
