Research seminar: Tijmen Tuinsma (KU Leuven)

We would like to invite you to a research seminar by  Tijmen Tuinsma, Research Associate at KU Leuven.

Title: Tax Compliance of Multinationals and Industry Concentration in the European Union

Authors: Matej Bajgar (IES), Petr Jansky (IES), Tijmen Tuinsma (KU Leuven)

Abstract: The authors find that increased tax compliance following the reform reduced the consolidated global sales of large multinationals subject to the reform. Specifically, a one percentage point rise in effective tax rates was associated with a 1.8% decrease in sales. They further find that the increased tax compliance was also associated with a decline in the sales of the affected multinationals’ subsidiaries and a decrease in concentration in industries where the top firms were subject to the reform. These findings highlight the potential of reforms of corporate taxation to reduce industry concentration.

The seminar will take place on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, in Room 105 at 16:00.

If you need a discussion slot with Tijmen Tuinsma, please write to Martin Gregor, and he will try to find a suitable time.
