Note(s): This table tests the parallel trend assumption and dynamic effects of government subsidy. The dependent variables represent one of our measures of product differentiation. The dummy variable TREAT equals 1 for treatment firms and 0 for control firms. The period indicator Period(x) equals 1 in year t + x and 0 otherwise, where year t is the year of receiving a government subsidy. The model includes firm and year fixed effects and firm-level control variables. All continuous variables are winsorized at the 1st and 99th percentiles. Presented in the parentheses below each coefficient is the t-value based on standard errors clustered by firm. Constant terms are estimated but omitted for presentation. ***, ** and * represent statistical significance at the 1, 5 and 10% levels, respectively
