Evaluation of the Corona Short-time Work

The aim of the project is a differentiated analysis of the use of the Corona short-time work subsidy and a comprehensive evaluation of the associated microeconomic and macroeconomic effects. In addition to the quantitative analysis, a qualitative review of the experience with this labour market policy instrument is an essential part of the project. The aim is to identify options for reform and to point out ways of optimising the design of the subsidy, its administrative handling and its effectiveness with a view to future labour market policy crisis interventions.
