In the spring of 2020, the skilled crafts sector was simultaneously affected by two different policy measures: the COVID-19-induced lockdown measures and a new market entry regulation. We use administrative data from the German Chambers of Skilled Crafts to analyse the effects of both of these policy changes on firms' registration rates. The results provide no evidence of possible structural damage in business formation as a consequence of corona measures. Instead, we find a reduction in entrepreneurial activity due to the new regulation policy consistent with prior expectations.
2020年春，熟练手工艺行业同时受到两项不同政策措施的影响：因新冠疫情实施的封锁措施和一项新的市场准入规定。我们利用德国熟练手工艺商会的行政数据，分析这两项政策变化对企业注册率的影响。结果表明，没有证据显示新冠疫情措施会对企业创立造成可能的结构性损害。相反，我们发现，新的监管政策导致创业活动减少，这与先前的预期一致。
