Abstract
This study investigates the impact of government subsidies on company labor productivity in China's strategic emerging industries, considering market power dynamics. Analyzing 1392 listed companies from 2006 to 2019, the study finds that high seller power enhances the positive effect of subsidies on productivity, while high buyer power weakens it. Domestic firms show greater sensitivity to market power compared to foreign-invested companies. Policy recommendations emphasize the importance of considering market power when designing subsidy mechanisms.
