    The 2023 edition of the energy prices and costs report, covering developments between 2020 and 2022, comes at a time of almost unprecedented upheavals in European and global energy markets; a time of great international economic and political instability. The changes brought by the energy transition were already having a profound impact on energy markets, which were hit by two major crises in succession. First, the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 led to a sudden sharp reduction in energy demand and energy prices, as worldwide lockdown restrictions led to decreasing household consumption and industrial production. The gradual reopening of society in 2021 and the fast recovery of demand led to significant energy price increases - to higher price levels than ever seen before. The seeds of the second of these shocks, the gas supply crisis, were planted already in the summer of 2021. This was the time when Russian state-owned Gazprom did not refill its gas storages in Western Europe and refused to offer additional natural gas supplies on the European spot markets. The crisis was further amplified by Russia's preparations for and the eventual start of the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Sanctions and countersanctions led to a sudden drop in Russian gas supplies to the EU, which could not be compensated in time with additional pipeline or LNG gas or other fuels. The confluence of these economic and geopolitical factors have driven European gas and electricity prices to peaks no one could have predicted before, with serious implications for European households, industry, the broader economy and public finances. Neither of these shocks could have been predicted at the time of the last report2. Together, these have focused an unprecedented level of attention on various aspects of energy policy, most importantly on security of supply, the competitiveness of European industry, the survival of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and the affordability of energy for European households.

    This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT), investigates whether EU institutions implement human rights and sustainability due diligence when they purchase goods and services. Based on documentary analysis and interviews, this study finds that sustainability due diligence is lacking in procurement carried out by the European Parliament, the European Commission and the EU agencies. Accordingly, it makes recommendations to promote better integration of due diligence into the procurement of goods and services by the EU institutions.

    Ensuring greater social protection for self-employed people has been the subject of much policy debate in recent years. In 2019, the Council of the European Union adopted a recommendation on access to social protection for workers and the self-employed. Sudden reductions in income during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerability of many self-employed workers. Using data from the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey, this report examines the working conditions of different groups of self-employed people. It analyses measures taken at EU Member State level to better protect self-employed individuals against the risks of unemployment, workplace accidents and sickness, and presents lessons learned from measures implemented during the pandemic.

    The European Education Area aims to support Member States' efforts in enhancing the educational attainment of younger generations. In this policy context, there is a need for an objective tool to assess the educational outcomes of EU countries. The present report addresses this need by pursuing two objectives: (1) providing a comprehensive method for using EU-SILC data to build relevant indicators for monitoring educational systems; (2) investigating the factors that explain variations in educational indicators across EU countries, with a particular focus on the influence of family inputs and personal characteristics. The empirical analysis is conducted using EU-SILC data from the 27 EU countries, employing various methodologies, including cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and correlational analysis. The results of this report demonstrate the potential of EU-SILC data in assessing educational systems in Europe. Furthermore, the findings offer valuable insights in support of the European Commission's objective of establishing a European Educational Area. The results also raise concerns, suggesting that education in Europe may not act as a universal equaliser. Instead, educational systems continue to exhibit social selectivity in influencing individuals' prospects for future careers.

    Research and innovation (R&I) are important indicators for a society to measure progress, growth and development in any field. But progress and growth in our increasingly digital society cannot be achieved without trust. Investing in cybersecurity R&I is key to increasing knowledge about new and emerging threats and developing new technologies, tools and strategies to protect systems, networks and data. Failure to do so can have devastating consequences for building trust in the use of digital technologies by individuals, organisations and society as a whole. The main objective of this report is to introduce cyber risk and cyber insurance, provide an overview of existing research and modelling approaches, and identify gaps for upcoming research projects.

    Developing a comprehensive international trade database is crucial for economic analysis, as trade activities are important drivers for the competitiveness and dynamism of an economy's productive structure. At present, import-export data are available from the COMTRADE database, maintained by the United Nations on the basis of global customs reports. However, often differences between the information reported between importer and exporter declarations arise, due to factors such as transport costs or unharmonised reporting systems. The main goal of this project is to reconcile trade values, quantities, and unit values with state-of-the-art techniques, and provide a uniform international trade dataset at the product level for each country. Furthermore, newly reconciled features are made available, namely the product Quantities, typically expressed in Kilograms or in the number of items, and the Unit Values, corresponding to the value per unit of quantity of the products. The new features are analyzed in detail, with Unit Value statistics showing unexpected behaviour and power-law price distributions frequently observed. The presence of fat tails in the distribution of export unit values may thus question the possibility of defining the statistical moments of prices, such as the mean or the variance, for international trade. In this report, we integrate Economic Complexity analysis with the literature on Unit Values and propose a possible connection with complexity measures. In fact, prices can be used to redesign the empirical bipartite trade networks connecting countries to the products they export competitively which are an essential tool in Economic Complexity studies. Constructing unit value matrices and using them as input for economic complexity metrics allow us to obtain more accurate GDP forecasting and thus to inform policy on the growth potential of single economies. Differently from traditional international trade theory that overlooks possible differences in the quality of the goods produced by different countries, more recently a large literature has explored the role of prices in the global patterns of bilateral trade, especially as proxies of production and export quality, building on the work of Linder (Linder, 1961) who studied the propensity of higher income countries for high-quality products, both in terms of demand and supply, and argued that exchanges are more likely to happen between countries with similar income per capita levels. Relying on different general equilibrium and gravity models that include quality as a key determinant of the direction of international trade, this literature highlights large country differences in the quality of exported products (Schott, 2004,Hummels and Klenow, 2005). Further, using pricing analysis, we classify products into quality categories based on price-distance dynamics. For instance, a price increasing with the distance between the importer and the exporter is thus related to a market with high-quality products and competition on quality, while if the price decreases, it suggests that the product is in a price-competition market.

    This report is the final output of a research project investigating the effects of automation on employment in the automotive, apparel and footwear industries in five countries, namely Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, Romania, and Spain. The main objective of this project has been to improve our understanding of how ongoing processes of technological upgrading, particularly automation, impact women's and men's employment and work in these industries. Our findings suggest that, in the short term, close to the introduction of new automation technology, the impact on employment takes the form of reassignment of workers directly involved in automated processes to other positions, tasks, and occupations. This study also explored the impact of automation in terms of work organisation and working conditions. Across the case studies, it emerged that the adoption of automation technologies has reduced heavy and repetitive tasks and improved health and safety for workers directly concerned by automation. Another interesting and related common finding is the reduction of workers' autonomy who are now subject to more standardisation of tasks together with an ongoing process of deskilling of operators. Finally, in the apparel and footwear sector, we did not find evidence of defeminisation at the establishment level as well as the automotive factories remains highly male-dominated. Cultural norms and stereotypes which influence not only the jobs women and men apply to and get hired for, but also which training and education they engage in, contribute to this gender segregation in both sectors.

    EPRS invites leading experts and commentators to share their thinking and insights on important topics of relevance to debate in the European institutions. In this paper, Bruce Stokes, visiting senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and associate fellow at Chatham House, offers an overview of US-EU relations since the passage of the US Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. This paper is based on the author's interviews with leading European and US experts and published analysis by major think tanks and journalists on both sides of the Atlantic. The paper discusses current efforts to manage longstanding pre-IRA disputes, the Trade and Technology Council, the US Chips and Science Act and the EU's response, looming issues such as CBAM and critical minerals, and how politics in both the US and Europe may affect the handling of these issues.

    Using firm-level survey data combined with firm-level financial information, we investigate the effect of a subjective, firm-specific measure of uncertainty on firm investment and employment growth in the European Union. We find that uncertainty has an economically significant negative effect on investment. Uncertainty is found to have an economically significant negative effect on employment growth, as well. Firms perceiving uncertainty as a major investment impediment experience 1 p.p. lower employment growth compared to those that do not. Using our estimates, we find that non-financial corporate investment in the European Union in 2022 would have been higher by 1 p.p. of fixed assets, while employment growth would have been by 0.7 p.p. higher had uncertainty remained at its 2021 levels.

    The aim of this report is to investigate the potential for harnessing key features of Transformative Innovation to improve the design and the implementation of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) strategies, based on empirical analyses. The study draws on the conceptual framework on this question previously defined for the JRC (European Commission, 2024), and the methodology for case studies, also articulated in the same report. The case study research covered several territories from across the EU and beyond, representing a diversity of approaches to CCA and transformative innovation. The framework takes the form of an analytical grid, structured into seven sections, each of them representing a key feature of the 'transformative innovation' approach - features understood as essential conditions for the design and implementation of CCA strategies with this high level of ambition. Each section sets out the main question(s) to be addressed in relation to its respective transformative innovation feature. This Report provides the findings for Iceland, as at September 2023, and is the result of a collaboration between the Joint Research Centre (JRC), DG CLIMA and DG RTD.

    In this work, we present the major application and impact areas of Contracts-for-Difference (CfDs) in a European context, describe the most relevant design dimensions and discuss several design packages for CfDs as combinations of distinct design choices. We discuss these separately and in comparison. We also provide a detailed overview of CfD schemes implemented in Europe. This work comes against the backdrop of an ongoing European debate on reforming the electricity market and the broader introduction of CfDs. Leading voices in academia, the EU and its Member States agree that electricity markets must be supplemented with additional long-term options, including CfDs. Different experts advocate for different versions and implementation options of CfDs, including generation-based and generation-independent design approaches. Unfortunately, the already existing breadth and variety of design options for CfDs are not always acknowledged and hence comparisons and assessments have so far only been made on a partial foundation. A key design question for renewable support schemes in general, and CfDs in particular, is how to prevent electricity market distortions and preserve short-term, operational market integration without jeopardising the effectiveness of the schemes in leveraging investment of private capital for renewable energy deployment. We show in this report that a number of different CfD designs have already been developed aiming at preserving dispatch efficiencies and are, in fact, already implemented in various European countries. We describe how generation-based CfDs can be non-distortive for day-ahead markets based on existing designs. We discuss remaining issues that mainly arise through spill-over incentive effects across market segments (e.g. towards intraday, balancing and futures markets). We also discuss generation-independent CfDs, which have theoretical advantages over generation-based designs, in particular in relation to intraday and balancing markets, but feature unresolved implementation challenges and would imply rather significant changes in the market. We find that every CfD implementation faces numerous design choices, which all come with their own challenges and trade-offs. The answers to many CfD design questions will be highly context-specific, and evaluations for different CfD design choices must take into account the idiosyncrasies of each specific environment and market situation. With this report, we strive to contribute to an objective debate in which all stakeholders can engage in an unbiased discussion of pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses of all CfD design options, to find the best solution for each country and market situation. We strive for this report to become a comprehensive reference that provides overview and discussion of impact areas, design dimensions and choices for different CfD types. This report shall give opportunity for an informed basis for discussion of CfD designs supporting the European leap towards CfDs as a major mechanism for the support of renewable energy.

    This study is made of two parts: part A and part B. Part A of the study analyses - through 27 country fiches - the extent to which each EU Member State is prepared for ensuring a socially fair digital transformation in the coming years, based on both its current situation and future prospects. In this analysis, key areas of focus include the labour market, digital skills of the population, social protection as well as cross-cutting dimensions, such as the digitalization level of businesses and the quality of digital infrastructures. Part B of the study reviews - through 30 case studies - some of the main actual and potential uses of digital technologies (including AI) by a country's public sector for improving the design and the delivery of social benefits and active labour market policies, as well as for complementing the monitoring of poverty and income inequality (the case studies analysed are mainly in Member States but also in a few third countries).

    This study provides the evidence that factors influencing exposure to the COVID- 19 pandemic and capability to learn and react to health threats are importantly grounded in regional characteristics such as population density and connectivity, in regional endowment of health resources, and in the optimisation of these resources at the hospital level. It is at the regional and subregional level that the capacity to learn and react, or resilience, is triggered. Likewise, this study finds that the mixed financing of healthcare from the national and the subnational level supports the resilience of health systems. One of the research questions of this work was to understand if rural and urban areas were impacted differently by the COVID-19 pandemic and if there were differences in the resilience of their health systems, including from the point of view of vaccination rollout. There is no evidence of a rural-urban divide in the health impact caused by the pandemic. Similarly, the rural-urban dimension does not explain regional health systems' resilience, and vaccination rollout results up to the end of May 2021 do not show a rural-urban bias. Overall, it is necessary to emphasise a general regional data failure in the health domain which has affected this work. Datasets on COVID-19 cases and deaths, hospital bed occupancy, intensive care units and vaccination, just to mention the most important ones, are not compiled by EU institutions at the regional level. For the scope of this study, several of these datasets were created ad-hoc by gathering subnational data from governments' websites. Even if this approach provides a temporary solution to data failure, it is not easily replicable and therefore remains a one-off exercise. The focus of this study is on highlighting differences among regions. These differences are discussed in terms of exposure (Part 1), resilience (Part 2), and progress in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations (Part 3). Part 4 concludes highlighting recommendations for enhancing the resilience of regional health systems in line with the creation of a European Health Union.

    This study was launched by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion of the European Commission to respond to a demand for further simplification of the ESF+ implementation process in the post-2020 period. It considers options to exploit the benefits of a range and mix of simplified funding instruments enabled and/or further expanded by policy decisions, such as the Commission's proposal for the post-2020 Common Provisions Regulation (COM(2018) 375 final). More specifically, this study assesses which types of off-the-shelf solutions would help to simplify the management of the ESF+ in the following two areas: - sustainable integration of young people, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, into the labour market through transnational mobility schemes; and - community social services. As summarised in the table below, the recommended set of off-the-shelf solutions within the aforementioned areas consists of EU-level SCOs, EU-level results-based tools (FNLC), and Member State-specific SCOs: - In the area of transnational mobility for disadvantaged youth, the study recommends a combination of an EU-level unit cost and an EU-level results-based tool, applied in the form of a top-up rate. This combination should be useful in facilitating positive intervention outcomes beyond simple participation in a mobility programme. - In the area of community social services, the study recommends a combination of an EU-level unit cost (for personal [targeted] care services); two Member State-specific unit costs (for services related to integration into the labour market and services related to tackling social exclusion); and an EU-level lump sum payment (for assistance in crisis and emergency situations, if preferred over an EU-level unit cost). This combination takes into account, and is directly affected by, the heterogeneity observed between Member States with regard to intervention practices in the area of community social services.

    This report focuses on a review and analysis of recent policy actions across EU Member States that address the industrial recovery through research, technology and innovation. In the past decade the drive for industrial transformation has largely been motivated by the desire to boost productivity and growth in an increasingly competitive manufacturing landscape. Policies have promoted the positioning of businesses higher up the value chain and often targeted 'high tech' sectors. The industrial transformation has been seen as a way to increase exports through competitiveness and even to address regional economic disparities. At the same time, many 'low tech' companies, as part of cost reduction strategies, have moved part of their production to Asia and other parts of the world. However, those companies were often producers of essential goods such as for example medical supplies. In addition, European companies have become extremely dependent on third countries for critical raw materials.The pandemic has thus revealed how vulnerable and dependent the production chains of European companies (both in high and in low tech sectors) have become due to globalisation. As a result, some policymakers looked at ways to incentivise companies to shorten their production chains and move their production capacity and jobs back to their countries of origin ('reshoring'). This applied especially to vital sectors such as medical technology and critical ICT technologies (such as cloud computing, micro- and nanoelectronics). In this context, this report begins by identifying the main drivers of industrial transformation before and after Covid-19. It then gives examples of how different advanced technologies could support recovery, diversification and resilience of manufacturing in the EU. After pointing out the key policy challenges for the industrial recovery, it finally analyses national policy responses to accelerate industrial recovery and puts forward best practices by giving examples of policy measures at national level that address these issues. It is important to note that this brief does not aim to provide an exhaustive overview of all the different strategies and policies addressing industrial recovery but rather to give a brief description of practices in a selected number of EU Member States and highlight key policy challenges. This report is based on desk research, expert assessment and interviews with policymakers.

    As the biodiversity crisis worsens, its impact on economic and social development is becoming increasingly apparent. Strategies to tackle environmental degradation and climate change must therefore focus on ensuring that ecosystems can respond to high levels of pressure while continuing to provide services indispensable to human development and to life. Evidence is pointing to a bleak outlook if we continue on our current trajectory. A recent assessment by the Inter-governmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that we are not on track to meet goals for the conservation of biodiversity or its sustainable use. According to the report, the only way to meet international targets on biodiversity (Aichi targets) and sustainable development (Agenda 2030) is through truly transformative change. A crucial step in this direction will be getting consensus on the need for a global agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity for the post-2020 period. The European Union (EU) is committed to contributing to this outcome. Through initiatives like B4Life and the European Green Deal1, it promotes biodiversity conservation and sustainable development, in developing countries as well as on a global scale. Based on the findings of recent studies and the input of numerous local and international specialists, Larger than Jaguars provides guidelines for a strategic approach to biodiversity conservation for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Similar detailed studies were conducted by the European Commission in Africa (Larger than Elephants) and in Asia (Larger than Tigers), providing a valuable basis for decisions in biodiversity conservation aligned with human development. The findings will not only feed the strategy of the EU to establish strong partnerships with LAC based on common values and shared interests, but are also meant to contribute to converging actions by all stakeholders in favour of ecosystem conservation and enhancement. This proposal is in line with the political document European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean: joining forces for a common future (16 April, 2019), presented by the EU High Representative and the European Commission. This latest document emphasises the importance of preserving biodiversity, moving towards a green and circular economy, and fighting climate change. It also emphasises the common interests of the EU and the countries of the region, as well as their close collaboration in the international arena for the definition of global agendas, such as the Paris Agreement or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

    The objective of this project is to provide an in-depth analysis of the national systems sanctioning the infringements of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), and in particular of the sanctions applied by Member States for infringements detected between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019, aiming to support the Commission in the preparation of the report on the implementation of the Control Regulation for the period 2015-2019 it must present to the European Parliament and the Council pursuant to Article 118(2) of Council Regulation EC No. 1224/20091. Accordingly, the study: - describes the enforcement framework of the Member States with a coastline; - assesses the effectiveness, proportionality and dissuasiveness of the sanctioning systems implemented in the Member States; - identifies best practices, as well as opportunities for improvement of the Member States' sanctioning systems. The project was implemented in three tasks: 1) collecting data on the national enforcement systems for infringements of the rules of the CFP; 2) carrying out an assessment on the national enforcement framework and of the sanctioning practice in the Member States, and 3) comparing enforcement of similar types of infringements in different Member States. The data collection was primarily done with a questionnaire addressed to the Member States' competent authorities (MSCAs), completed by desk research and interviews. The subsequent assessment analysed both the Member States' regulatory frameworks, i.e., whether the laws and procedures in place at national level are adequate to enable effectiveness, proportionality and dissuasiveness of sanctions; and the Member States' performance in terms of national enforcement, i.e., whether the sanctions applied in practice can be considered effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

    The ability to innovate and to make use of new technologies and techniques is indispensable for economic diversification and sustainable development. It is not easy to define innovation, as it is a much broader concept than just capacity to devise new high-tech products and solutions. Indeed, "innovation is as much about culture, leadership, finance, governance and people as it is about technology and data" (OECD, 2019). In particular, in the public sector, innovation is geared towards addressing the needs of citizens by creating value added and making an impact (Hartley, 2005). In the present report, following the Oslo Manual, innovation is defined as "a new or improved product or process (or combination thereof) that differs significantly from the unit's previous products or processes and that has been made available to potential users (product) or brought into use by the unit (process)" (OECD, 2018). Against this background, the aim of this report is to identify the main obstacles and challenges to the creation and development of innovation strategies, ecosystems and start-ups, and solutions - in particular those to which local and regional authorities (LRAs) can contribute - in the following countries that are ARLEM (the Euro-Mediterranean Regional and Local Assembly) members: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Egypt, Turkey, Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco (case study), Tunisia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine1, and Libya, which has observer status within ARLEM. The final section of the report contains proposed solutions and policy recommendations on how innovation ecosystems and start-ups can be enhanced.

    Social media platforms ban users and remove posts to moderate their content. This "speech policing" remains controversial because little is known about its consequences and the costs and benefits for different individuals. I conduct two pre-registered field experiments on Twitter to examine the effect of moderating hate speech on user behavior and welfare. Randomly reporting posts for violating the rules against hateful conduct increases the likelihood that Twitter removes them. Reporting does not affect the activity on the platform of the posts' authors or their likelihood of reposting hate, but it does increase the activity of those attacked by the posts. These results are consistent with a model in which content moderation is a quality decision for platforms that increases user engagement and hence advertising revenue. The second experiment shows that changing users' perceived content removal does not change their willingness to pause using social media, a measure of consumer surplus. My results imply that content moderation does not necessarily moderate users, but it can marginally increase advertising revenue. It can be consistent with both profit and welfare maximization as long as out-of-platform externalities are small.

    The Common Fisheries Policy states that an Ecosystem-Based Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) needs to be implemented. This study provides a state-of-play of the implementation of EAFM in the North and Baltic Seas, Western Atlantic and Outermost Regions. At the core of this assessment, the study identified three types of "EAFM challenges" that need to be addressed in order to advance EAFM. In addition, typologies were developed for the main EAFM components (fisheries, management measures and policy instruments), and used to assess the available fisheries management information. The analyses revealed that existing measures are largely targeting only one type of EAFM challenge, i.e. mitigating fishing impacts using both input and output measures. Although a lack of consolidated information on existing management measures prevented a full indepth assessment, some key obstacles were identified in the governance arrangements that should facilitate an EAFM. The advisory process should build on a transdisciplinary knowledge base, integrating various interdisciplinary scientific and local indigenous (e.g. fisher) knowledge to consider the full social-ecological system. Including context and stakeholder interests in decisionmaking can enhance the feasibility, appropriateness and impact of chosen management measures. The uptake of scientific advice beyond single-species stock assessments into decision-making should also be improved.
