In this paper, we construct a computable general equilibrium model of the Slovak economy to evaluate an impact of different types of inclusive programmes on an economic performance. Furthermore, we apply individual microeconomic data to identify socially excluded communities and place them in the inclusive labour market in a form of inclusive employers or social enterprises. While the first ones operate as standard producers with additional subventions from government, the latter ones are explicitly designed for the employment of socially excluded communities. Our results show that both types of inclusive programmes help to reduce structural unemployment and improve potential production in the Slovak economy. While the application of the inclusive employers leads to a better improvement of potential production, in line with a higher productivity of production factors, the application of the social enterprises leads to a more significant reduction in structural unemployment, due to an absence of social dumping on the domestic labour market.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a public policy that holds producers accountable for the post-consumer stage of their products. In Slovakia, producers are required to register in the national producer registry and pay the corresponding fees. Significant number of producers that deal with packaging and non-packaging products – fail to comply, effectively becoming free riders. To compare the effectiveness of electronic versus paper-based communication, we sent registration and payment reminders to over 3,000 firms. Among companies established in the previous year, there was no significant difference in registration rates between the two types of communication. However, for longer-established firms, paper-based reminders proved more effective when the message consisted only of a general reminder. This difference disappeared when the reminder included a threat of penalty, suggesting that electronic and paper-based messages were equally effective in that context.
