Abstract
Within the framework of the project, publicly available data on enterprises and their activities are used to characterize their economic activity, their sustainability, their importance for the state budget and for regions. The economic indicators of enterprises are linked to the data of public sector institutions that provided crisis measures. Economic indicators of enterprises that received and did not receive support measures are compared before and after the COVID-19 crisis. The project will develop an analysis environment using github, R and Shiny software, where public administrators can analyze which companies should be supported by various economic measures during the COVID-19 crisis and what the potential impact of the measures has been. As a result of the project, an automated process is created, where the input data is imported, the analysis is performed and the results of the analysis are displayed as a Shiny application.
