报告摘要：
Unlike other countries, the export VAT rebates in China are often incomplete and frequently adjusted. This paper analyses the impact of partial VAT rebates on the export across products within multi-product firms. Our theoretical model provides predictions on the relationship between the change of VAT rebates and the export behavior of multi-product firms with products of different quality. Consistent with the model’s predictions, the empirical findings show that an increase in VAT rebate raises export quantity and reduces export price. Moreover, the impact on quantity is larger if the product is closer to the core competence while the impact on price is smaller. In short, the multi-product firms reallocate resources towards their core product when facing higher VAT rebates.
