The paper chooses the ranking of disclosure quality made by Shenzhen Stock Exchange as the proxy variable of information disclosure level, analyzes the rent seeking behavior of government subsidy and its efficiency. The result shows there is a negative relationship between disclosure quality and government subsidy. However, the government subsidy seems not to be helpful to increase the firm performance and the social performance, which supports the assumption of rent seeking. Our results suggest that the improvement of information transparency is conducive to promoting effective allocation of government subsidy and increasing social welfare.
