The macroeconomic crisis caused by COVID-19 has led many governments to take emergency actions for safeguarding businesses. In Italy, the suspension of depreciation and amortization (D&A) accounting represented a notable measure asit did not entail expenses for the state. This study aims to evaluate the impact of D &A suspension compared to that of international policies implemented with public financial disbursement. The results show that the measure – quantified in terms of lower business losses – has reached a significant extent, comparable to that of actions financed through public spending.

The macroeconomic crisis caused by COVID-19 has led many governments to take emergency actions for safeguarding businesses. In Italy, the suspension of depreciation and amortization (D&A) accounting represented a notable measure asit did not entail expenses for the state. This study aims to evaluate the impact of D &A suspension compared to that of international policies implemented with public financial disbursement. The results show that the measure – quantified in terms of lower business losses – has reached a significant extent, comparable to that of actions financed through public spending.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
