Summary/Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of the newest European Union’s State aid acquis regarding interpretative trends revealed during the wave of COVID-19 relief measures and on this basis seeks to identify areas where law can learn from economics, in-line with the so-called More Economic Approach which is often proclaimed but rarely attained in state aid evaluations. The paper begins with a brief outline of the EU State aid instruments used to remedy economic disturbances. Then the analysis moves to the examination of identified problem areas – a risk of moral hazard resulting from extending subsidies beyond the absolute necessity and an issue of imposing conditions on the aid beneficiaries to ensure their adaptation to new, post-crisis market conditions. At the conclusion, the challenges associated with integrating economics into legal texts are analysed and recommendations are formulated.
