摘要
利用2001—2016年的沪深A股上市公司样本数据,实证检验了学者型CEO对企业税收规避的影响。研究发现:学者型CEO显著抑制了企业税收规避;相比于国有企业,学者型CEO对企业税收规避的影响在民营企业中更为突出;高层次的CEO学术经历对企业税收规避的抑制作用更为显著。作用机理检验表明,CEO学术经历主要通过增强CEO的社会责任感和风险规避心态,抑制了企业的税收规避行为。
Using the sample of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2001 to 2016,this paper empirically tested the effect of scholar-type CEOs on corporate tax avoidance. Our results reveal that scholar-type CEOs have significantly curbed corporate tax avoidance,which is more pronounced in private companies rather than that in state-owned companies. And a higher level of academic experiences may have a stronger impact. The test on influencin mechanism show that,academic experiences of CEOs affect enterprise tax avoidance mainly through the enhancement of CEO's sense of social responsibility and risk avoidance.

(1)参考Hanlon和Heitzman(2010)[1]的研究,本文将税收规避定义为企业所有以减少缴纳所得税为目的的行为和手段,既包括合法的税收筹划和规避,也包括逃税行为。由于实证研究无法对避税行为的合法性进行清晰界定,本文借鉴以往的文献,不对避税和逃税行为进行区分。
(2)如果企业所得税费用和税前利润均小于0,则实际所得税率为正,但这与实际不符。
