Data sets used in the evaluation • PARP data sets (databases of all applicants, with employment +9); • 19 covariates were controlled, such as: age, revenues, size, legal form, assets, the use of other subsidies, etc. • Central Statistical Office data sets (Report on revenues, costs and financial results and the cost of fixed assets); • 31 outcome variables were estimated, such as: net revenues from sales, employment, expenditures, profits, etc.
