The Effects of Subsidies on MSW Treatment Companies: Financial Performance and Policy Implications
Companies that provide public services usually receive subsidies from municipalities as compensation for replacing the latter in their functions as public service providers. However, the managers of those companies are not always interested in maintaining an economically sustainable company, as this implies turning off the tap on exploration subsidies. This article investigates the effect of subsidies on the financial performance of municipal solid waste collection and treatment companies for 2016–2020 and across NUTS II regions. The accounting data of 680 companies retrieved from the SABI database, make it possible to assess the economic sustainability of the companies through financial ratios and operational data. The results show that the financial structure and management of companies in the Centro, Lisbon, and the Azores allowed to take advantage of exploration subsidies to achieve economic sustainability. In the remaining regions these subsidies proved to be ineffective. These results have implications for managers and policy makers insofar as it sheds a light on the conditions under which subsidies contribute to the economical sustainability of companies in the sector.
