- Abstract
In the context of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is facing new opportunities and challenges. Based on the panel data of 171 listed pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in China from 2017 to 2020, this paper uses a two-way fixed effects model to conduct an empirical study on the relationship between government subsidy, R&D investment and profitability. The results show that for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, government subsidy and R&D investment can significantly improve enterprise profitability; R&D investment plays a partial mediating role in the effect of government subsidy on enterprise profitability. Enterprises and government should take measures to encourage R&D investment in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
