Abstract This paper uses national (regional) data from 2003 to 2017 to investigate the impact of government R&D subsidies on the export of high-tech products under the trade policy uncertainty. The study finds that in the context of increased trade policy uncertainty, government R&D subsidies can effectively alleviate the negative impact of trade policy uncertainty on the export market share, export types and quantity of high-tech products. Further analysis shows that, compared with high-income countries (regions), government R&D subsidies are more conducive to alleviating the negative impact of trade policy uncertainty on the quantity of Chinese exports to middle-income countries (regions). In addition, the study indicates that government R&D subsidies begin to play a positive role in mitigating the negative impact of trade policy uncertainty on export quantity after the international financial crisis. Based on the above conclusions, this paper proposes targeted policy recommendations from the perspectives of improving the R&D subsidy, promoting trade liberalization and export market diversification.
