HomeEx post assessment of the impact of state aid on competition
Final report
Métadonnées de la publication
In this report, Oxera has developed an analytical framework for the ex post assessment of the effect of state aid on competition. This framework is consistent with merger and antitrust assessments but tailored to the specificities of state aid. Although it focuses on ex post impact assessments of state aid, most elements of it can also be used for ex ante evaluation. We apply this framework to four cases where the Commission authorised the granting of aid to individual companies. The case studies were selected in order to cover a diversity of aid objectives, economic sectors and amounts of aid. The four cases selected are: regional aid to an airport in the UK; R&D&I aid to a French substrates manufacturer; SGEI aid to an Italian postal operator; environmental aid to a French starch producer. Following the four case studies, we show that the impact of the aid could vary according to the relative amount of the aid, the breadth of the aid, and frequency of the aid. We also conclude that usual techniques in antitrust and merger assessments can be used in ex post assessments. However, there are some specific challenges regarding market definition, counterfactual analysis, and data availability.
