DP20172 The Impact of Financial Support to Firms During Crises: The Case of Covid Aid in the EU
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a global economic crisis, leading governments to provide substantial State Aid to support firms. This paper examines the effectiveness of Covid-related financial support in Spain and Italy, focusing on its impact on firm recovery. Using a difference-in-differences (DiD) approach combined with propensity score weighting, it compares outcomes of similar firms receiving aid to those without. The results show significant benefits for micro-firms, including mitigated turnover declines and increased investments in both tangible and intangible assets. The findings highlight the critical role of government support in business survival and recovery, especially for SMEs, during the pandemic.

Temporary, targeted support for micro & small firms strengthens economic resilience. However, extending subsidies to large firms should be critically reassessed especially with the EU’s upcoming Clean Industrial Deal, as aid has limited effectiveness for them while risk of market distortions rises.

We also find that micro and small enterprises significantly increased their investments in tangible and especially intangible assets, i.e. they used the aid to improve their digitalisation.

We focus on Spain and Italy, two hard hit economies with extensive aid programmes. We use a diff-in-diff methodology with propensity score matching and find that micro & small firms had significantly higher revenues compared to a control group 2 years after the pandemic, but medium & large firms not

Between 2019 and 2022, EU Member States will grant more than €1 trillion in state aid, much of it to support businesses through the pandemic, with large differences between Member States in both the amount and intensity of aid relative to GDP.
