  1. Political Status and Tax Haven Investment of Emerging Market Firms: Evidence from China.Ziliang Deng, Jiayan Yan & Pei Sun - 2020 - Journal of Business Ethics 165 (3):469-488.
    Tax haven investment has become an increasingly important topic in business ethics. Given the considerable tax haven investments from emerging market firms, understanding how home-country institutions shape their investments in tax havens is theoretically intriguing and practically crucial. By integrating resource dependence and institutional theories, we hypothesize the existence of a negative relationship between firms’ home-country political status and tax haven investment. State-owned enterprises controlled by the central government dominate the political hierarchy. Compared with other types of enterprises, central SOEs (...)

  • Time Orientation in Languages and Tax Avoidance.C. S. Agnes Cheng, Jaehyeon Kim, Mooweon Rhee & Jian Zhou - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 180 (2):625-650.
    Studies suggest that when a language requires grammatical marking of future events, speakers prefer immediate payoffs and engage in less future-oriented behavior. If future costs of tax avoidance are non-trivial, we posit that strong future time reference in languages would lower managers’ perceptions about costs, encouraging more tax avoidance. Using a large sample of 56,243 firm-year observations across 31 countries, we find that tax avoidance is higher where FTR in the language is strong. We also find that tax avoidance is (...)

  • Is Corporate Tax Aggressiveness a Reputation Threat? Corporate Accountability, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Corporate Tax Behavior.Lisa Baudot, Joseph A. Johnson, Anna Roberts & Robin W. Roberts - 2020 - Journal of Business Ethics 163 (2):197-215.
    In this paper, we consider the relationships among corporate accountability, reputation, and tax behavior as a corporate social responsibility issue. As part of our investigation, we provide empirical examples of corporate reputation and corporate tax behaviors using a sample of large, U.S.-based multinational companies. In addition, we utilize corporate tax controversies to illustrate possibilities for aggressive corporate tax behaviors of high-profile multinationals to become a reputation threat. Finally, we consider whether reputation serves as an accountability mechanism for corporate tax behaviors (...)

  • Capital Round-Tripping: Determinants of Emerging Market Firm Investments into Offshore Financial Centers and Their Ethical Implications.Päivi Karhunen, Svetlana Ledyaeva & Keith D. Brouthers - 2021 - Journal of Business Ethics 181 (1):117-137.
    AbstractForeign direct investment (FDI) in offshore financial centers (OFCs) is gaining increased attention in business ethics research. Much of this research tends to focus on OFCs as locations where firms can avoid taxes, considering such behavior as unethical. Yet, there is dearth of studies on capital round-tripping by emerging market firms, which is an integral part of this phenomenon. Such round-tripping involves firms sending capital into OFCs only to invest it back in the home country under the guise of “foreign” (...)

  • Country Portfolio and Taxation: Evidence from Japan.Junjian Gu - 2020 - Journal of Business Ethics 175 (3):583-607.
    This study investigates the conditions under which host country portfolios are more likely to regularize corporate tax behavior. We use a sample comprising data on Japanese multinationals covering 2004 to 2014 to examine the relationship between foreign direct investment host country portfolios and tax avoidance from the perspectives of investor protection and ethical standards. Our multivariate regression results show that the number of countries with strong investor protection/high ethical standards in the FDI host country portfolio is negatively related to tax (...)
