Digitalization of the Economy
Digitalization is fundamentally changing the economy and our society. It drives entrepreneurial innovation, productivity, and regional economic growth. It also has implications for growth, the labor market, and political participation.
Globalization and “Inter-System Competition”
The globalization of politics and the economy as well as the shift of economic weightings to Asia, especially to China, are among the formative economic developments of the last decades.
Economic Growth and Sustainability
The importance of economic stability and the sustainability of economic development are high on the political agenda. They are key topics of scientific debate and not only since the financial crisis.
The Future of Europe
The German and European economic model of the social market economy is facing new challenges. So far, the European Union has only been geared for growth. Now, for the first time, a Member State wants to leave the Community.
Equal Opportunities and Integration
Social participation is a pillar of democracy. As many citizens as possible should be able to take advantage of the opportunities offered to them by a market economy. This is one of the most important attributes of the social market economy.
Public Sector Functions and Taxation
Globalization and the digitalization of the economy are changing the need for state activity: new demands on the labor market, the aging of the population, and a change in social roles are creating a need for reform of social security systems.
