报告内容简介:

This paper examines the association between climate risk faced by U.S. multinational corporations (MNCs) in subsidiary countries and their tax-motivated outbound income shifting. We find that U.S. firms exposed to higher climate risk are associated with lower levels of outbound income shifting. Cross-sectional tests suggest that this association is primarily driven by physical risks and regulatory costs associated with climate change. Furthermore, the association is moderated by firms’ awareness of climate risk and their financial constraints. Overall, our results provide new insights into the tax consequences of environmental concerns.
