The most common motive for pursuing IPs is to booststrategic competitiveness of the targeted products. Leveraging a novel database of industrial policies and usingthe local projection difference-in-differences approach, this paper examines the dynamic relationship betweenIPs and trade competitiveness. Our results point to a nuanced picture. On average, products targeted by IPsexperience a larger increase in competitiveness than non-targeted ones. However, there is substantialheterogeneity across different types of products and policy instruments. The average effect is driven by initiallycompetitive products. Turning to policy instruments, domestic subsidies are associated with a temporaryimprovement in trade competitiveness in the short term, whereas export incentives are linked to medium-termimprovements in competitiveness. Finally, we focus on three widely discussed value chains–solar photo-voltaic,wind turbines, and electric vehicles–and present suggestive evidence that IPs can have spillover effects onnon-targeted products through value chain linkages. Our findings for these three value chains suggest that IPstargeting upstream products are associated with larger improvements in the RCA of products using theseupstream products relative to IPs targeting products at the same value chain stage.RECOMMENDED CITATION:Huang, Yueling, Sandra Baquie, Florence Jaumotte, Jaden Kim, Yucheng Lu,Rafael Machado Parente and Samuel Pienknagura. 2025.“Do Industrial Policies Increase TradeCompetitiveness?”, IMF Working Paper No. 2025/98.L52, F12, F13, O25, Q48Industrial policies;trade;revealed comparative advantage;domesticsubsidies; export incentives;local projection difference-in-differencesyhuang5@imf.org,sbaquie@imf.org,fjaumotte@imf.org,jkim6@imf.org,yuchenglu@nyu.edu,rmachadoparente@imf.org,spienknagura@imf.org INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUNDJEL Classification Numbers:Author’s E-Mail Address: Keywords: 2 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUNDDo Industrial Policies IncreaseTrade Competitiveness?Prepared byYueling Huang,Sandra Baquie, Florence Jaumotte,JadenKim,Yucheng Lu,Rafael Machado ParenteandSamuel Pienknagura1We thank Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, Adam Jakubik, Lorenzo Rotunno, Michele Ruta, and Antonio Spilimbergo for valuablecomments.
