FISCAL MEASURES FOR GREEN TRANSITION AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS: CASE OF SLOVENIA

Public financial incentives for the green transition focus on public spending and tax incentives, which influence behaviour and investments. The research examines the impact of these measures on macroeconomic indicators in Slovenia, such as GDP growth, unemployment rate, productivity, and innovation activity. Findings show that some measures have a positive impact on economic growth and productivity, but the effects are small. Same can be concluded for unemployment rate. In some cases, influence is shown only in selected group of observed population and in specific time lags observed. General conclusions for the time period from 2018 to 2022 examined for Slovenia did not provide definitive conclusions for policy making.
