Dear DRUID 2023 organization team, I submitted two papers under my account for the DRUID 2023, which both got accepted. My coauthor planned to present one of them but she will not be able to travel in June because of health reasons. Therefore, I would like to retract my solo-authored submission "Carbon Pricing and Innovation: The Impact of the European Carbon Trading System" with the submission number 70186 from the program. I will present the paper "Pandemic Effects: Is the German Innovation System Suffering from Long-COVID?" with submission number 70184 at the DRUID 2023.
