It is possible to use detailed company-level data and aggregate data of companies and employees to study various economic policy measures (tax changes, subsidies). Examples of earlier research:

  • Within the scope of the corporate income tax exemption study, the impact of the corporate income tax reform carried out in 2000 on the operational success of Estonian companies (liquidity, productivity, profitability) was investigated. See the project report here.
  • In a study from 2019-2020 was examined the impact of enterprise support on companies’ export capacity, survival, innovative performance, productivity, and average wages.
  • In the project “Effect of the minimum wage on the socio-economic development of Estonia” (2020-2021), the impact of the minimum wage on employment, wages and the gender wage gap, and the operational success of companies (productivity, exports) was investigated.
