This study examines the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on Moroccan female-led firms, considering both short-term and long-term impacts. It investigates influence different waves these taking into account their size location, to gain valuable insights crisis management strategies. Using a micro-level database made up 1,096 firms observed during initial three pandemic, we extract data from World Bank 'Enterprise Survey: impact firms' database. Our analysis, using logit model, reveals that varied by gender firm head survey period. Female-led were more severely affected health compared with male peers. The quick application policy adaptations played crucial role in reducing male-led enterprises. Small particularly those situated regions such as Beni Mellal-Khenifra, Drâa-Tafilalet, Oriental, Marrakech-Safi, have been significantly COVID-19 crisis. makes two key contributions. Firstly, it provides an empirical analysis pandemic's enterprise-level data, which is unprecedented Morocco. Secondly, repercussions varying sizes regions, acknowledging disproportionate women economic crises. aims offer for supporting recovery future. findings emphasize importance targeted assistance small located mitigate crisis's consequences promote revival. These businesses play local economy, survival resilience post-COVID-19 era essential. Este estudio examina los efectos de la pandemia causada por el en las empresas marroquíes dirigidas mujeres, para lo cual considera tanto repercusiones corto como largo plazo. En él se investiga influencia estas distintas oleadas pandemia, teniendo cuenta su tamaño y ubicación, obtener valiosas perspectivas sobre sus estrategias gestión Se partió una base datos nivel micro constituida 1.096 observadas durante tres iniciales con ella extrajeron del Banco Mundial. El análisis utilizó un modelo mostró que impacto varió función género jefe empresa periodo encuesta. Las mujeres vieron más afectadas sanitaria hombres. La rápida aplicación adaptaciones políticas desempeñó papel reducción pequeñas empresas, todo situadas regiones Oriental muy COVID-19. aporta dos contribuciones clave. primer lugar, ofrece empírico utilizando empresa, algo sin precedentes Marruecos. segundo distintos tamaños reconoce desproporcionado económicas. trata ofrecer aportaciones apoyar recuperación futuro. Los resultados subrayan importancia ayuda específica mitigar consecuencias fomentar reactivación económica. Estas desempeñan economía local, es esencial supervivencia resiliencia posterior 本稿では、新型コロナウイルス感染症(COVID-19)のパンデミックがモロッコの女性主導の企業に与えた影響を、短期的および長期的の両方のインパクトを考慮して検討する。この調査では、これらの企業の規模と立地を考慮して、危機管理戦略に関する重要な見識を得るために、パンデミックの波がこれらの企業に与える影響を検討する。パンデミックの最初の3つの波の間にモロッコの1,096の企業から得られたデータから成るマイクロレベルのデータベースを使用して、World Enterprise SurveyのImpact firmsデータベースからデータを抽出する。ロジットモデルを用いた我々の分析から、企業トップの性別と調査期間によってパンデミックの影響が異なることが明らかになった。女性主導の企業は、男性主導の企業と比較して、健康危機の影響がより深刻であった。男性主導の企業では、政策の適応を迅速に行うことが、健康危機の影響を減らす上で重要な役割を果たした。特にベニ・メラル=ヘニフラ、ドラア=タフィラレット、オリアンタル、マラケシュ=サフィなどの地域にある小規模企業は、COVID-19危機の影響を大きく受けている。本研究の主な貢献は2つある。1つは、企業レベルのデータを用いてモロッコ企業に対するパンデミックの影響の実証分析を行ったが、これはモロッコでは前例のないことである。2つめは、様々な規模または立地が異なる女性主導のモロッコ企業に対するパンデミックの影響の調査から、経済危機における女性に対して偏った影響があることが認められた。本研究は、将来の女性主導の企業の回復を支援するための重要な見識を得ることを目的としている。我々の調査結果から、危機の影響を緩和し経済復興を促進するために、小規模企業や被害を受けた地域に立地する企業を対象とした支援の重要性が強調される。これらの企業は地域経済において重要な役割を果たしており、ポストコロナの時代にこれらの企業が存続し回復する支援をすることが不可欠である。

Two counties West selected: county Timis for highly favourable agricultural production Caras Severin integrative centred mixed farms, where is integrated animal towards higher added value. Using secondary data National Agency Payments Interventions Agriculture allowed disaggregation at level each municipality 2019 2020. choice dataset related precision, as beneficiaries direct payments respective areas verified year both crops. paired two-tailed t-test used test LAU 2 selected counties; crops sown could be affected COVID spring 2020 (March June), most important terms area tested against datasets. results show there enough evidence conclude significant statistical difference between two years, therefore, we cannot reject null hypothesis did affect during their restrictive 2020; thus, overall influence Romania insignificant, observed only primary Spring have been severely imposed access certain inputs, freedom movement field work, other activities closely linked production, leading disruptions along food chain.
