Abstract

This paper explores the effects of various subsidies on economic growth and growth composition in a Schumpeterian model with incumbents and entrants. The main results can be summarized as follows. Subsidizing the production of intermediate goods or subsidizing incumbents’ in-house R&D serves to promote economic growth. However, the growth effect of the subsidy on entrants’ R&D can be positive or negative, depending on the level of the fixed entry cost. Moreover, we show that various types of subsidies have different effects on the entry of new firms and market structure. Finally, we calibrate the model and find that the subsidy on intermediate goods production is more effective than R&D subsidies in terms of promoting growth and raising welfare.
