This study estimates the establishment-level employment effects of investment grants in Germany. In addition to the average treatment effect on the treated we analyse the influence of establishment’s characteristics and economic environment on the magnitude of the effect. We apply a modification of Heckman’s matching and difference-in-differences approach to consider time-varying treatment and different treatment durations. Our results suggest that investment grants positively impact employment. Moreover we find strong evidence for effect heterogeneity regarding firms’ internal characteristics as well as the economic environment.
