Higher Seminar in Economics | Organizational Capacity and Profit Sharing with Daniela Scur

9/1/2021, 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM
This paper analyses the effect of a firm’s organizational capacity on reported profitability of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Better organizational practices improve productivity and the potential taxable profits of firms. However, higher adoption of these practices may also enable more efficient allocation of profits across tax jurisdictions, lowering actual taxable profits. We present new evidence that MNE subsidiaries with better such practices, when located in high-tax countries, report significantly lower profits and have higher incidence of bunching around zero returns on assets.
