- Abstract
- This article explores how energy shocks influence capital and research and development expenditure in the EU and outlines possible implications for growth, productivity and competitiveness. The findings indicate that energy shocks can adversely affect corporate investment, potentially undermining future EU competitiveness, especially for financially constrained and energy-intensive firms. Policy measures at national and European level could help reduce energy prices and strengthen energy supply, making the EU less vulnerable to future energy shocks.
