Using a large U.S. sample, we find a significant and positive relation between patents and corporate tax planning, and the effect is incremental to the effect of R&D on tax planning. We employ a quasi-natural experiment based on staggered industry-level innovation shocks to identify the positive...

In times when elevated government debt raises concerns about dimmer global growth prospects, we ask: How can the government provide incentives for innovation in a fiscally sustainable way? We address this question by examining the Ramsey problem of finding optimal tax and subsidy schemes in a...

The authors explore basic tax planning tools and offshore companies use as one of the most popular methods of tax planning. The analysis of the effectiveness of the tools used to stimulate the activities of enterprises is based at economic literature review and statistical data. The authors have...

We examine the consequences of real earnings management from an innovation perspective and investigate the patent output of firms likely to be managing earnings through altering their R&D expenditures. We find that R&D cuts related to earnings management lead to fewer patents, less influential...

Researchers have well documented the positive effects of innovation on growth and productivity. However, innovation might be associated with unexpected consequences, especially in term of earnings quality. In this paper, we employ the Bayesian linear regression to shed light on the relationship...

Purpose: This study examines whether family businesses (FBs) differ from non-FBs with regard to innovative strategies, and whether their innovation is a reflection of earnings management behavior. Design/methodology/approach: This study extended research into the issue of FBs by investigating...
