#ZEWPodcast // 2026#ZEWPodcast (Consice) EARIE Exclusive: Hidden Link Between Labor Markets and Mergers
This episode of the ZEW podcast “Wirklich Wirtschaft” examines how restrictions on labour mobility – in particular the enforcement of non-compete clauses – influence mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It examines how these regulations affect companies’ decisions to acquire competitors, retain staff and compete for talent. The discussion is led by Professor Dr. Bernhard Ganglmair and Professor Ginger Jin, PhD, professor at Boston University.
