Multinational tax incentives and offshored U.S. jobs Branden M. Williams

Por: Tipo de material: ArtículoArtículoDescripción: Páginas 293 la 324Tema(s): En: The accounting review 2018 V.93 No.5 (Sep)Incluye tablas, figuras, referencias bibliográficas y apéndicesResumen: This paper examines if, when, and to what extent multinational tax incentives incrementally explain where firms move offshored U.S. jobs. Using jobs data from a Department of Labor program called Trade Adjustment Assistance, I find a significant association between tax incentives and both the likelihood that a foreign country hosts offshored U.S. jobs and the number of U.S. jobs it hosts. This association is stronger when managers have discretion to coordinate cross-border transactions internally and when they do not face political costs imposed by labor unions. Following instances of offshoring, I find some evidence that offshoring firms have lower effective tax rates, but these reductions are concentrated within larger layoffs in which jobs are sent to low-tax countries. These findings are relevant to understanding the real effects and welfare consequences of incentives created by current U.S. tax policy.
