This reduction is primarily driven by a contraction in OFDI breadth in tax havens, which restrains MNEs’ tax avoidance. We demonstrate an asymmetric effect wherein DTA does not significantly influence domestic firms’ tax avoidance, which is attributed to their ability to facilitate cross-regional investment. We also explore the various responses to cross-border tax avoidance approaches employed by MNEs to mitigate the adverse effects of DTA on corporate tax avoidance. Overall, our findings highlight the critical role of home country DTA in managing MNEs’ tax avoidance, particularly in the context of developing countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Markets Institutions & Money","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102177"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144090345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines whether MFIs adjust interest rates in response to the business cycle, hypothesizing an increase during downturns. Analyzing data from 1,711 MFIs over 16 years (2003–2018), we find a negative relationship between interest rates and the business cycle. However, certain MFI characteristics mitigate this countercyclical behavior. Specifically, MFIs in the top tertile of the group lending method, deposit-taking MFIs, and subsidy-based MFIs show less cyclical interest rate behavior, contributing to greater stability. Further analysis sheds light on the mechanisms underlying this countercyclical behavior, leading to two main conclusions. First, shareholder-based MFIs tend to raise interest rates during economic downturns, suggesting that profit maximization drives the countercyclical effect. Second, increases in provisioning and funding costs are passed on to borrowers through higher interest rates during downturns. Using propensity score matching and Lewbel’s (2012) instrumental variable approach to address endogeneity concerns, our findings remain robust and consistent across different econometric specifications and measures of the business cycle.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48119,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Markets Institutions & Money","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 102163"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
