      Institutional Ownership and Corporate Tax Avoidance: New Evidence

      By: Mozaffar N. Khan, Suraj Srinivasan and Liang Tan
      We provide new evidence on the agency theory of corporate tax avoidance (Slemrod, 2004; Crocker and Slemrod, 2005; Chen and Chu, 2005) by showing that increases in institutional ownership are associated with increases in tax avoidance. Using the Russell index... View Details

      Resident Networks and Corporate Connections: Evidence from World War II Internment Camps

      By: Lauren Cohen, Umit Gurun and Christopher J. Malloy
      We demonstrate that simply by using the ethnic makeup surrounding a firm’s location, we can predict, on average, which trade links are valuable for firms. Using customs and port authority data on the international shipments of all U.S. publicly traded firms, we show... View Details

      Foreign Competition and Domestic Innovation: Evidence from U.S. Patents

      By: David Autor, David Dorn, Gordon H. Hanson, Pian Shu and Gary Pisano
      Manufacturing is the locus of U.S. innovation, accounting for more than three quarters of U.S. corporate patents. The rise of import competition from China has represented a major competitive shock to the sector, which in theory could benefit or stifle innovation. In... View Details

      Bank Risk-Taking and the Real Economy: Evidence from the Housing Boom and Its Aftermath
