“…By granting innovation subsidy to firms, the government not only supplements the capital of the firms and decreases the risk associated with their R&D ( Chang and Shih, 2004 ), but also distributes social resources to the enterprises and encourages them to engage in innovative activities ( Zhao et al, 2022 ). Government innovation subsidy can increase the quality of firms’ innovation on two levels: by reducing the strain on their R&D budgets ( Matallah, 2022 ) and by encouraging their R&D innovation ( Fernández Sastre and Montalvo Quizhpi, 2019 ; Shah et al, 2022a ).…”

The government employs innovation subsidies as a key incentive strategy to promote companies to innovate more technically. This study analyses how innovation subsidies influences the quality of corporate innovation. We create an innovation quality index for pharmaceutical corporations using categorizing data from patent applications submitted by pharmaceutical companies. Using data from 180 listed Chinese pharmaceutical companies between 2010 and 2020, this study proposes a panel regression model to assess the influence of government innovation subsidies on innovation quality, as well as the moderating effect of CEOs’ academic capital. How well innovations are subsidized is also affected by the heterogeneity of property rights. Innovation subsidy has a greater and more positive impact on non-SOEs. This article demonstrates that CEOs with academic credentials and executives with ties to the pharmaceutical industry have a variety of moderate effects. The research offers novel suggestions for enhancing business creativity and the innovation subsidy programme.

PurposeThis study investigates the impact of US dollar volatility and oil rents on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with an emphasis on understanding how these factors influence SME financing constraints in economies with fixed currency regimes.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a random effects panel regression analysis, this research considers US dollar volatility and oil rents as independent variables, with SME performance, measured through the financing gap, as the dependent variable. Controls such as trade balance, inflation deltas and gross domestic product (GDP) growth are included to isolate their effects on SME financing constraints.FindingsThe study reveals a significant positive relationship between dollar volatility and the financing gap, suggesting that increased volatility can exacerbate SME financing constraints. Conversely, oil rents did not show a significant direct influence on SME performance. The trade balance and inflation deltas were found to have significant effects, highlighting the multifaceted nature of economic variables affecting SMEs.Research limitations/implicationsThe study acknowledges potential biases due to omitted variables and the limitations inherent in the use of secondary data.Practical implicationsFindings offer pertinent guidance for SMEs and policymakers in the GCC region seeking to develop strategies that mitigate the impact of currency volatility and support SME financing.Originality/valueThe research provides new insights into the dynamics of SME performance within fixed currency regimes, which significantly contributes to the limited literature in this area. The paper further underscores the complex connections between global economic factors and SME financial health.
