In this paper I examine two types of liberalization policies, those aimed at increasing competition and efficiency within the existing regulated market, and those allowing competing channels outside of the regulated system. Studying a marketing channel reform in Indian agricultural produce markets, which consisted of both ‘in-market amendments’ and ‘out-of- market amendments’ adopted in different combinations and timing by the Indian states, I evaluate the effectiveness of the reforms in improving the bargaining power of farmers vis-a-vis the licensed traders in the regulated markets. I find an average 3 % overall increase in prices obtained by farmers following the reform in total, and 12 % for storable crops. While apparently much harder to pass, in-market reforms appears to be driving most of the change while the effect for out-of-market reforms is mostly insignificant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 103234"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145797046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the wake of the 1997 crisis, Korea moved from a strategy of cultivating national champions toward reforms that emphasize market competition, but the efficacy of this approach remains disputed. Using a unique firm-level panel dataset from 2008–2023, we employ a granular bank lending shock identification strategy to isolate the causal impact of policy-directed credit on firm performance. Specifically, we examine how exogenous variations in policy-directed credit influence a firm’s physical investment, R&amp;D expenditure, and total factor productivity (TFP), with industry market concentration as a moderating factor. The results indicate that increased policy-directed credit does not translate into consistent improvements in investment, innovation, or productivity at the firm level. However, its effects are significantly stronger in industries characterized by higher market concentration and export intensity. The evidence also suggests that innovative small firms in these industries exhibit stronger policy effects. These findings call into question the universal desirability of competition-friendly industrial policies. For trade-driven economies like Korea, policy intervention tends to be more effective when it incorporates consideration of industry-specific competitiveness in global markets and the realization of economies of scale. This paper provides nuanced insights and contributes new evidence to the literature on industrial policy and competition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 103233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145747756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the impacts of coal price shock on the performance of downstream coal-dependent manufacturing firms using an exogenous price shock induced by China’s Cleaner Production Standard for the Coal Mining and Processing Industry (CPSC) in 2008. The findings reveal a significant increase in the revenues of manufacturing firms subjected to the rise of coal price. Mechanism analysis shows that incumbent firms primarily enhance their revenues by expanding market share and increasing production, rather than fostering innovation and raising prices. This implies growing bigger rather than becoming stronger might be the main strategy for manufacturing firms to cope with the coal price shock. Further analysis indicates that the increase in revenues nearly offset the increase in energy costs, resulting in no significant change in profits. Additionally, this study finds that manufacturing firms can also mitigate cost increases by adjusting their energy structures, but there is no evidence that advancements in energy-saving technologies achieve the same effect. Our findings highlight the various ways in which manufacturing firms respond to energy price shocks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 103220"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145691276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a continuous difference-in-differences approach, I show that the new policy increases standard-related patenting, with the strongest effects among firms furthest from the standards’ technology space. However, the effects differ across firm types. SEP holders reduced their innovation activity, consistent with weaker royalty incentives, while non-SEP firms expanded patenting, benefiting from lower licensing costs and new opportunities to reposition themselves.
