Note(s): Column (1) reports measurement results through ΔKZ=α0+α1Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. ΔKZ is measured as (the KZ in the year following the acquisition of state ownership – KZ in the year prior to the acquisition of state ownership). Column (2) reports measurement results through ΔLnpatent=α0+α1Reform+α2ΔKZ+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. Column (3) reports measurement results through ΔCost=α0+α1Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. ΔCost is measured as (the debt financing costs in the year following the acquisition of state ownership – debt financing costs in the year prior to the acquisition of state ownership. Column (4) reports measurement results through ΔLnpatent=α0+α1Reform+α2ΔCost+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. Column (5) reports measurement results through ΔTax=α0+α1Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. ΔTax is measured as (tax burden in the year following the acquisition of state ownership – tax burden in the year prior to the acquisition of state ownership), where tax burden = (income tax – deferred income tax)/[(pretax profit – deferred tax)/tax rate] (Shevlin, 1987). Column (6) reports measurement results through ΔLnpatent = α0+ α1Reform +α2ΔTax + ΣControls + ΣYear + ΣInd + ε. Column (7) reports our measurement results through ΔGS=α0+α1Reform+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. Variables except ΔGS are as defined in Table 2. ΔGS is measured as (government subsidies in the year after the acquisition of state ownership – government subsidies in the year prior to the acquisition of state ownership). Column (8) reports measurement results through ΔLnpatent=α0+α1Reform+α2ΔGS+ΣControls+ΣYear+ΣInd+ε. Variables except ΔGS are as defined in Table 2. ***, **, and *respectively indicate significance level at 1, 5, and 10%
