Efekt mŕtvej váhy
Deadweight effect

Summary/Abstract: Regional policy is one of the most important EU policies. Large amounts of resources automatically put forward the question of its effectiveness and efficiency. These aspects can be examined both on macro and micro perspective. In this article we will focus on one aspect of inefficiency - „deadweight“. This effect is unnecessarily expended amount of public resources on activities that would have happened even without these resources. We examine the effect on selected projects for small and medium-sized enterprises in the region of Central Slovakia. Deadweight loss turned out to be lower than that of similar studies abroad.
