Technical efficiency and productivity differentials of dairy farms in three EU countries: the role of CAP subsidies (2012, background): “Subsidies can increase TE if they provide an incentive to innovate or switch to new technologies (Harris and Trainor, 2005), or decrease TE if higher income from subsidies weakens the motivation in the form of slack or lack of effort (Bergström, 2000).”
Do subsidies to private capital boost firms' growth? A multiple regression discontinuity design approach (2014, background): “…Not surprisingly, several studies have evaluated the extent of the economic payoff of these subsidies (see, inter alia, Roper and Hewitt-Dundas, 2001; Harris and Trainor, 2005; Bondonio and Greenbaum, 2012; Criscuolo et al., 2012); however, the literature is still relatively limited considering…”
Evaluating the impact of investment incentives: The case of Italy's Law 488/1992☆ (2006, background): “Moreover, the role of incentives in reducing territorial disparities is a central topic in regional science (Faini and Schiantarelli [16], Harris and Trainor [23], and Gabe and Karybill [17]; see, also, Glaeser [18]).”
Internal financial constraints and firm productivity in China: Do liquidity and export behavior make a difference? (2013, unknown): “Making use of a similar methodology, Harris and Trainor (2005) use plant level panel data on Northern Ireland to study the effects of government capital subsidies on productivity.”
