Two measurement angles drive the selection of questions and outcome variables: (1) direct effects at the beneficiary level, to capture the incentive effect, and (2) indirect effects at the level of nonbeneficiaries, to capture spillover effects on other firms, as well as at the market level, to capture effects in terms of competition outcomes. Having consistent micro-level information for both beneficiary and nonbeneficiary firms proves necessary to implement an ex post impact evaluation of a state aid scheme. Measuring the incentive effect from any scheme requires building a counterfactual situation to assess what would have happened in the absence of support, which requires identical information both for aid beneficiaries and for the control group, except for data on aid receipts.
