背景资料或其他更多信息: Subsidies of some forms are adopted in almost all economies; in particular, many developing economies implement it as a mean to promote industrialization. It is widely agreed that industrial subsidies are distortions that might lead to economic inefficiency; however, the predicted loss by thories may look moderate. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium theory to explain the substantial long-term cost of industrial subsidies, which serve as government interventions preventing firms from exiting the market. We find, by stopping the creative destruction of industrial firms, even though the GDP level may look good at the beginning, these countries end up with an inefficient industrial sector in the long term. We calibrate the model to the case of China with a substantial state sector, compute the dynamic equilibrium paths, and demonstrate substantial long-term costs of these government interventions.
