Abstract

This comprehensive study delves deeply into an extensive dataset of China's A-share publicly listed companies, spanning the years from 2012 to 2022. It focuses on unraveling the intricate interplay between intellectual property (IP) protection frameworks and government subsidies. Our findings reveal a discernible and positive correlation: the strength of IP protection mechanisms within a particular region is directly proportional to the total factor productivity (TFP) achieved by the firms domiciled there. This underscores that companies operating in regions with robust IP safeguards exhibit superior TFP performance. Furthermore, in regions characterized by strong IP protection, government subsidies emerge as potent catalysts, significantly spurring corporate innovation efforts.
