Note(s): Panel A reports our measurement results through ΔR&D=α_(0)+α_(1)Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. Panel B reports our measurement results through ΔLnpatent=α0+α1Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε(Equ 0.1). Variables are as defined in Table 2. ***, **, and *respectively indicate significance level at 1, 5, and 10%
