    Este estudio analiza el impacto de las subvenciones gubernamentales en la eficiencia de las empresas, utilizando un enfoque basado en la teoría institucional. A través de un análisis empírico, se evalúan datos de diversas organizaciones para determinar si las subvenciones actúan como catalizadores de mejoras en procesos y estructuras o si generan dependencias que limitan la innovación. Los resultados muestran un aumento gradual en la eficiencia de beneficios entre 2021 y 2023, aunque aún existe margen para mejorar la optimización de recursos. Por otro lado, las empresas que no recibieron ayudas tienen una mayor eficiencia de beneficios.

    This study analyzes the impact of government subsidies on firms’ efficiency using an institutional theory approach. Through an empirical analysis, data from various organizations are evaluated to determine whether subsidies act as catalysts for improvements in processes and structures, or whether they create dependencies that limit innovation. The results show a gradual increase in profit efficiency between 2021 and 2023, although there is still room to improve resource optimization. On the other hand, firms that did not receive subsidies display higher profit efficiency.
