On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Abstract:
This paper uses a new dataset that dramatically increases the country coverage of corporate tax rate and tax incentives to analyse their effectiveness as policy tools to attract FDI. The addition of both sectoral and temporal variation significantly improves upon the identification approaches of previous studies. The preliminary results show that higher corporate taxes have a negative impact on inwards FDI, but that in aggregate tax holidays to not seem to be important. Policy makers that lose significant fiscal resources to tax holidays may therefore be overemphasising their importance in attracting internationally mobile capital.
