摘要

我们评估了针对商业服务提供商的基于地点的政策。2016年，瑞典政府为偏远农村地区的杂货店提供了特殊的运营支持，以减缓商店关闭的进程。我们在一个回归不连续设计框架中使用这样一个事实来估计局部因果效应，即只有距离另一家商店至少15公里的商店才有资格获得支持。结果表明，由于支持，商店存活率提高了15%-20%。对于幸存的商店来说，对就业的影响是负面的，可能是由于节省劳动力的投资。

The impact of government support on rural grocery stores—A regression discontinuity approach

We evaluate a place-based policy aimed at commercial service providers. In 2016, the Swedish government introduced special operating support for grocery stores in remote rural areas to slow down the process of store closures. We estimate the local causal effect in a regression discontinuity design framework using the fact that only stores located at least 15 km away from another store were eligible for the support. The results indicate a 15%–20% increase in store survival rates due to the support. For surviving stores, the effects on employment are negative, possibly due to labor-saving investments.
