The impact of the Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program on business closure and growth : evidence from the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic / Christi-Anna Durodola and Jiong Tu.: Iu188-166/2024E-PDF

"The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic had far-reaching implications for business performance worldwide, prompting governments to implement support measures to mitigate its adverse effects. In Canada, the federal government introduced various programs, including the Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program (HASCAP), to aid businesses severely affected by the pandemic. This research report investigates the effects of HASCAP use on business closure and growth, while controlling for business characteristics, pre-pandemic attributes, and the concurrent use of other government intervention programs, such as the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), the Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA), and the Canada Emergency Commercial Rental Assistance (CECRA) initiatives"--Abstract, page 4.
