regional state aid, European UnionAbstract
Public subsidies, tax breakes or guarantees are granted to enterpises by public authorities to affect their decisions on market entry, location, R&D spendings, levels of employment and output. Targeting intervention to market failures is the key issue of its efficiency and potential competition and trade distortions are motivation of the EU state aid control. The aim of the article is a specification of economic aspects of the regional state aid. It concerns an economic justification of an intervention as well as an economic assessment of its effects.
