增值税留抵退税对企业创新的影响——以生产性服务业企业为例

Influence of VAT Rebate Policy on Enterprise Innovation Taking Producer Service Enterprises

选取2016—2022年生产性服务业企业A股上市公司数据,采用双重差分模型,估计增值税留抵退税对生产性服务业企业创新的影响。研究表明,留抵退税政策的实施对生产性服务业企业的创新有显著促进作用,且通过倾向得分匹配双重差分估计、指标替换检验和安慰剂检验等稳健性检验;企业现金流对生产性服务业企业创新有显著影响,即留抵退税政策通过增加企业现金流对企业创新产生促进作用;政策对非国有企业、股权相对分散企业和高盈利企业的促进作用更显著。评估留抵退税政策的效果,有助于有关部门进一步优化与完善我国的增值税留抵退税政策。
