Abstract
⺠We investigate cross-border effects of corporate taxes on multinational investment. ⺠With common inputs, taxes in the parent country reduce affiliate investment abroad. ⺠Using data for European MNEs, we find evidence in line with this hypothesis. ⺠A parent tax increase by 10 percentage points dampens affiliate investment by 5.6%. ⺠From a welfare perspective, the effect gives rise to a negative fiscal externality.
