Welfare reducing licensing by an outside innovator (2024)
Journal Article

It is commonly believed that licensing of cost reducing technology increases welfare. We show that technology licensing by an outside innovator may reduce welfare when the technology is not useful for all final goods producers. Technology licensing r...

The impact of bank mergers on corporate tax aggressiveness (2024)
Journal Article

We study whether borrowers’ opaque practices, such as tax aggressiveness, are affected by their lenders’ engagement in mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Our findings suggest that borrowers’ tax aggressiveness is negatively associated with bank mergers... Read More about The impact of bank mergers on corporate tax aggressiveness.
