#ZEWPodcast Do Private College Campuses Lead to Success?

Private university campuses can measurably boost the regional economy: A joint analysis by ZEW Mannheim and the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI shows that startups originating on campus can increase local gross domestic product by about 1.5 to 2.1 percent in the long term. In the latest episode of the ZEW podcast “Wirklich Wirtschaft,” Dr. Bastian Krieger, a researcher in the ZEW Research Department “Economics of Innovation and Firm Dynamics” and head of the early-career research group “Co-Creation,” discusses the economic impacts of private universities, regional differences, and the implications for higher education and regional policy.
