This paper examines whether government in China can reshape industry structure through production subsidies to enhance export performance. The authors argue that the beneficial impact of subsidies is found to be more pronounced among profit-making firms, firms in capital intensive industries and those located in non-coastal regions. According to them, compared to firm characteristics, the extent of heterogeneity across ownership structure proves to be relatively less important.
