Graph of the effect of receiving COVID-19 aid on firm's turnover, by size, in Spain and Italy. Micro-firms were helped more than medium and large firms.

The unprecedented wave of state aid to firms across the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic raised questions about who benefited and how effective these interventions were. This column uses firm-level data from Spain and Italy – two of the countries worst affected by the pandemic – to evaluate the economic impact of aid. Targeted support for micro and small firms increased revenues and investment but had little impact on medium and large firms’ performance. Crisis support should focus on the most vulnerable businesses, and broad subsidies to large firms scrutinised.

Effective health aid: Evidence from Gavi’s vaccine programme Coordinated health aid for vaccination has increased coverage rates and saved the lives of children around the world.

USAID has spent $2 billion supporting vaccines through GAVI. In research, published in AEJ:Economic Policy, Kartini Shastry and I find GAVI saved 1.5 million lives at a low cost of $9,000 per child saved. See the writeup of our research in VoxDev:
