ZEW pursues four key objectives: To conduct research of the highest quality to provide exceptional economic policy advising to train young economists To inform the professional and lay public The Institute focuses on decision-makers in politics, economics, and administration, scientists in the national and international arena as well as the interested public. Regular interviews on the situation on the financial markets and business-related service providers as well as large-scale annual studies on technological competitiveness and innovation activities in the economy are representative for the different types of information provided by ZEW. The research department Environmental and Resource Economics, Environmental Management performs economic analyses of environmental policy instruments.
