Competitiveness of the State and social welfare are closely related to the effective use of production factors. Organisations that have achieved higher level of labour productivity are more competitive and beneficial for the State and society. Modern management methods have positive impact on labour productivity, therefore their application is supported. One of the promotion measures is "Procesas LT", under which business organisations are granted non-refundable subsidies for the implementation of modern management methods to increase labour productivity. Administrative institutions make decisions about granting funds of this promotion measure for the projects of business organizations, not taking into account macroeconomic factors that influence labour productivity as well. It has been determined that the counterfactual impact evaluation of this measure can be carried out in the enterprises that have been granted the support.
