International Profit Shifting and Multinational Firms in Developing Economies (IGC Policy Brief)

This project uses a data set which covers all German multinational firms and their worldwide operations. We ask whether these firms use debt financing to shift income from high to low tax countries and whether this tax planning differs between affiliates located in developing and developed countries.
