分析了具有利息扣除的全额损失抵免公司税可能减少风险承担的情况,并考虑了递减规模报酬的生产函数和股权融资的可能性,发现该税制在特定条件下可能鼓励或抑制风险投资。

Abstract

It is argued that a full loss offset corporate tax with interest deductibility may reduce risk taking in that entrepreneurs might decrease the amount of investment made in risky projects with higher corporate tax rates. Unlike previous results in the literature, production functions with decreasing returns to scale and the possibility of equity financing of capital investment are allowed. A corporate tax that falls in part on the returns of equity owners or entrepreneurs can, under certain conditions, reduce risk taking. If the government taxes only risk, then a corporate tax with a full loss offset can encourage investment in risky projects.
