Abstract

Als Reaktion auf die COVID-19-Krise hat die Regierung ein Paket an Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung der Wirtschaft zusammengestellt. Dieser Bericht analysiert anhand von drei Sonderbefragungen des WIFO-Konjunkturtests die Inanspruchnahme und Einschätzung der Wirksamkeit der eingesetzten Instrumente auf Unternehmensebene. Die Mehrzahl der österreichischen Unternehmen ist demnach erheblich von der Krise betroffen. Die Hilfen werden insgesamt weitgehend als hilfreich eingeschätzt, wobei sich die Beurteilung zwischen den Unternehmen unterscheidet. Jene Unternehmen, die die Unterstützung als nicht ausreichend bezeichnen, melden überwiegend geringe Liquiditätsreserven und sind tendenziell stärker insolvenzgefährdet. Auf Basis der vorliegenden Evidenz werden mögliche Mitnahme- und Missbrauchseffekte diskutiert.
