EPISODE OVERVIEW
In this episode of The Ripple Effect, Wharton finance professor Daniel Garrett discusses his research on how international tax policy—specifically the “check-the-box” rule and repatriation holidays—impacts U.S. multinational firms and domestic employment. He explains the competing forces of a wealth effect, where firms grow and potentially invest more at home, and a substitution effect, where firms shift operations abroad due to lower foreign tax burdens. Garrett’s findings reveal that the substitution effect often dominates, resulting in reduced domestic investment and employment.
