Single parents and their children benefit particularly from early childhood education and childcare programmes. Nevertheless, almost a third of single parents in Germany who need childcare for their children under the age of three are unable to find it. Although around 70 % of day care providers claim to take the single-parent criterion into account when allocating slots, the prevailing allocation procedures cannot guarantee that this is implemented. This article shows how transparent allocation criteria can be designed nationwide and how their implementation can be realised through suitable, centralised, municipal allocation systems. Particularly in (western) German regions with a high unmet demand for institutional childcare, single-parent status should be considered as an independent criterion in addition to other factors such as employment and child age.

With its Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, the European Commission has defined an initial framework for the future promotion of CO2 capture, storage and use in the EU. In particular, negative emission technologies like direct air capture promise to play a key long-term role on the path towards a climate-neutral Europe. However, timely capacity building requires an early technology uptake, which is currently impeded by various market obstacles, including learning externalities, coordination failure and the lack of a stable revenue perspective. Under these conditions, clear priorities and support measures are needed to create a genuine internal market for CO2. A successful strategy should be based on three pillars: the promotion of negative emissions via carbon-contracts-for-difference, standards and coordination devices for the EU-wide development of a carbon infrastructure as well as the establishment of technology partnerships at the global level.

Carbon pricing is a central instrument of a market-based climate policy. However, the different international price levels vary greatly, thereby creating new distortions of competition. To compensate for this, state aid for transformation efforts becomes relevant. Industrial policy therefore has a new and difficult role to play in the transformation.

This paper underscores the importance of securing strategic mineral raw materials for economic competitiveness, particularly in Germany. It highlights the dependency on imports, leading to reliance on resource-rich countries. The paper discusses the risks of this dependency, including supply disruptions from exogenous shocks. It explores national economic policies to increase supply security and presents a quantitative analysis showing that active resource policy can significantly reduce supply risk for national companies.

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, we offers insights into the far-reaching consequences of wars. Based on a new dataset on major conflicts since 1870, the findings show that wars cause a substantial decline in GDP and spike in inflation within war zones. Interestingly, countries geographically close to war zones experience significant economic disruptions, even when neutral to the conflict, whereas countries far from the conflict may see minimal to slightly positive spillovers. The study demonstrates how wars represent a massive negative supply shock, with geographical proximity and trade integration explaining the varying effects on different countries.

The immigration of STEM specialists has a decisive impact on Germany’s ability to innovate. Analyses by the German Economic Institute with a focus on India show high employment growth in recent years. Indian STEM specialists earn comparatively high median wages. The revised Skilled Labour Immigration Act offers the opportunity to further strengthen and accelerate this immigration process.
