Thesis Abstract

<p>This research project aims to examine the effect of tax incentives on corporate investment decisions. Tax incentives are commonly used by governments to encourage businesses to invest in specific areas or industries. Understanding the impact of these incentives on corporate investment behavior is crucial for policymakers and businesses alike.<br><br>The study will employ a quantitative research approach, utilizing financial and investment data from a sample of companies operating in different industries and countries. The analysis will focus on assessing the relationship between tax incentives and various investment metrics, such as capital expenditures, research and development (R&amp;D) spending, and mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity.<br><br>To measure the effect of tax incentives on corporate investment decisions, the research will employ econometric techniques, such as regression analysis. The analysis will control for other factors that may influence investment decisions, such as firm size, profitability, and industry characteristics. Additionally, the study will consider the moderating effect of firm-specific factors, such as financial constraints and tax planning strategies, on the relationship between tax incentives and investment decisions.<br><br>The findings of this research will contribute to the existing literature on the impact of tax incentives on corporate behavior. By examining the effect of tax incentives on investment decisions, this study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of such incentives in stimulating corporate investment. The research outcomes can inform policymakers in designing more targeted and efficient tax incentive programs and help businesses in evaluating the potential benefits and risks associated with utilizing tax incentives for investment purposes.<br><br>Overall, this research project seeks to enhance the understanding of the relationship between tax incentives and corporate investment decisions, providing valuable insights for both academia and practitioners in the field of taxation and corporate finance.<br></p>
