Europe’s push for deeper capital markets assumes that cross-border equity ownership matters. This column shows that it does. Euro area listed firms remain heavily owned by domestic investors. When COVID-19 struck, firms in the hardest-hit sectors with more domestically concentrated shareholders cut investment more, lost more value, and raised less equity than peers with diversified shareholder bases. Capital markets union is hence not just about financial integration. It is about real economic resilience.

Der Irankrieg und die weltweit gestiegenen Treibstoffpreise haben noch einmal gezeigt, was die Abhängigkeit von den fossilen Energien bedeutet. Weltweit wird der Umstieg auf erneuerbare Energien vorangetrieben – oft aus rein finanziellen Gründen.

Agreements between manufacturers and retailers can affect competition across brands and stores. This column documents retail price patterns in the US consumer battery industry and uses a model estimated from purchase data to explore two potential mechanisms: changes in downstream retail pricing and changes in upstream wholesale contracting. Counterfactual simulations illustrate how these mechanisms could jointly weaken competition. In the scenarios examined, the wholesale channel generates the larger consumer welfare loss. The findings highlight the importance of considering both channels when evaluating the potential effects of vertical agreements.
