Export Subsidies in a Heterogeneous Firms Framework
We evaluate the impact of firm-specific export subsidies on exports in Colombia. Using a two-stage Heckman selection procedure, we obtain firm-specific predicted subsidy amounts that can be explained by the characteristics that determine the firms’ eligibility for the government support and its amount. Drawing on the accounts of the discretionary allocation of subsidies in developing countries,...
متن کاملStrategic Fragmentation and Production Subsidies∗
In this paper, we examine the welfare properties of strategic fragmentation under production subsidies. We first consider a case in which a production subsidy rate is given exogenously. We show that, under the fixed subsidy policy, firms choose fragmentation despite the domestic production being socially desirable. Next, we examine a situation in which the government chooses a production subsid...
متن کاملCan production subsidies foster export activity ?
Using a unique firm level data set from the Chinese manufacturing sector, this paper analyses the impact of production subsidies on firms’ export performance. It documents robust evidence that production subsidies stimulate export activity, although this effect is conditional on firm characteristics. In particular, the beneficial impact of subsidies is found to be more pronounced amongst profit...
متن کاملHigh - Technology Subsidies in General Equilibrium : A Sector - Specific Approach
We use a specific-factor model to exarnine the conditions under which policymakers are able to increase aggregate production of high-tech goods by production or R&D-subsidies in the short and long-mn. The difficulties for the policy-makers in designing a subsidy scheme that succeeds in expanding aggregate high-tech production involve taking into account the trade-off between resources used in R...
متن کاملExport Subsidies versus Export Quotas with Incompletely Informed Policy Makers ∗
This paper analyzes export subsidies (price incentives) and export quotas (quantity controls) in the Brander-Spencer (1985) model when policy makers have limited information on demand and cost structures. We examine necessary or sufficient information for policy makers to determine the right policies. It is crucial that they know the elasticity values of the slope of the inverse demand curve an...
