#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 Is The Industrial Electricity Price a Risky Measure? (in German)
In response to a sharp rise in electricity costs, the German government plans to introduce the industrial electricity price from 2026 to provide relief for energy-intensive sectors. Brussels gave the green light for this in April. But is this market intervention actually effective? And what are its consequences? ZEW researchers Joscha Krug, Kathrine von Graevenitz and Elisa Rottner from the ‘Environmental and Climate Economics’ research department have investigated this. Joscha Krug explains their findings in the new episode of the ZEW podcast “Wirklich Wirtschaft”.
