The Effect of Expected Effective Corporate Tax Rates on Incremental Financing Decisions

IMF Staff Papers,
Vol. 44 (4),
1997
Abstract
This paper uses U.S. panel data to estimate the effect of expected effective corporate tax rates on the amount of debt issued by firms. The paper directly estimates expected corporate tax rates using rational expectations. The estimated measures of expected effective tax rates of firms are related to a continuous measure of incremental debt financing. The paper finds that expected effective tax rates are significantly and positively related to a higher level of debt financing. Simulations suggest that debt issues would double if firms were unable to shield profits and actually faced the statutory tax rate.

Abstract
Die Reform des Gemeindesteuersystems steht bereits seit Jahren auf der politischen Tagesordnung. Mittlerweile haben sich die kontroversen Positionen zwischen Bundesgesetzgeber, Wirtschaft und Kommunen deutlich angenähert. Die weit fortgeschrittene Aushöhlung der Gewerbesteuer und die zunehmende Delegation von ausgabenintensiven Aufgaben auf die lokale Ebene haben die Verhandlungsposition der Städte und Gemeinden geschwächt. Für viele Kämmerer dominiert das fiskalische Deckungsziel, so daß man auch Reformmodelle zu akzeptieren bereit ist, die man lange und mit Gründen abgelehnt hat.
