Yet, after decades of deep structural change leading away from coal and steel, the region is still marked by ongoing structural weaknesses and chronically high unemployment rates. At the same time, it has relatively poor public institutions. Therefore, it is time to think outside the box. We propose a new approach with ten concrete ideas for regional support by the establishment of new public institutions in the Ruhr area.","PeriodicalId":35890,"journal":{"name":"Wirtschaftsdienst","volume":"43 22","pages":"856 - 863"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139018174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even before the recent double crisis of the pandemic and multiple cost shocks, bankruptcy figures were one-third lower than around the turn of the century but were larger and affected more mature firms. With the onset of the double crisis, bankruptcies plummeted further while the number of affected jobs rose initially. Government rescue programmes hindered the exit of many small unproductive firms. Since mid-2023, bankruptcies of registered firms are higher than before the pandemic. Due to the current recession and the need to repay government support, the number of bankruptcies will rise until the end of 2023 and likely beyond.","PeriodicalId":35890,"journal":{"name":"Wirtschaftsdienst","volume":"3 1","pages":"788 - 790"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139304430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Education economists of the Verein für Socialpolitik call for the implementation of a longitudinal education register in Germany to understand the complex interrelationships of education systems. The education register should cover all levels of formal education and include data on student performance in order to close a serious data gap in Germany. The statement also calls for regular access to this data for independent research. Once implemented, the education register should enable linking with other data sources, for example from the labour market, tax and health records, in order to be able to analyse the long-term effects of education. By establishing a longitudinal education register, Germany would finally catch up with established standards of other European countries, creating a resource where education register data not only exists, but are available for researchers and can be linked with other data.","PeriodicalId":35890,"journal":{"name":"Wirtschaftsdienst","volume":"16 1","pages":"733 - 736"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139293563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
