The study was prepared by ICF International, TRT Trasporti e Territorio and DIW Econ and published by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport).
Road freight transport between the EU and Ukraine is currently regulated by bilateral intergovernmental agreements between EU Member States and Ukraine.
Within the framework of the present expertise for the German Wind Energy Association and Deutsche Messe AG, DIW Econ prepared an assessment of the macroeconomic employment effects of the energy transition. For this purpose, on the one hand the positive economic employment impulses of the energy transition through the expansion of renewable energies and through energy efficiency measures were worked out, and on the other hand, adverse effects in the area of the conventional energy industry and in other economic sectors were contrasted with the positive effects.
As a result, Novartis makes an important economic contribution to regional economic performance and employment, especially in structurally weak regions, such as the Barleben site in Saxony-Anhalt (see case study).
In the second part of the publication, four case studies were used to show the importance of Novartis as a driver of research and development (case study on Novartis Pharma GmbH), a fast-growing global market leader in cutting-edge technology segments (case study on WaveLight), an impetus provider in a structurally weak region (case study on Salutas Pharma) and an investor in the manufacturing sector (case study on MARS Campus).
In 2016, the effects on gross value-added, employment and public revenues were recalculated. The new results can be found here.
Onshore wind energy in the federal states of Bremen and Lower Saxony is a job engine and an essential economic factor.
The study concludes that the industry now employs over 20,000 people and generates gross value added of over 3 billion euros per year. This means that the wind energy sector is about as large as agriculture and forestry.
