A panel econometric model consisting of 118,380 firms, spanning 2014 to 2019 was used to determine the impact of tax incentive policy on firm investment, firm gross output, and exports. A two-stage modelling approach was used, first the decision to invest or export was modelled using a binary logit model. In the second phase, the impact of the tax incentives policy was estimated. The decisions to export and invest are marginally driven by tax incentive policy. A shilling given as tax expenditure increases the probability of investing and exporting by 0.018% and 0.48% respectively. The results from the study imply that export and investment-related tax incentives are either redundant or have a negligible impact on their respective target variables.

This paper aims to assess the impact of the tax incentive policy on firm performance after privatization in Vietnam. Using research data of 260 privatized enterprises in Vietnam, this study sheds light on whether tax incentive policies can help improve firm performance after privatization. The paper utilizes a pre-post comparison approach proposed by Megginson, Nash, and Van Randenborgh (1994). The research results reveal that privatized enterprises with tax incentives have improved profitability (ROA, ROE, ROS) and operating efficiency (NIEFF) and reduced leverage after privatization. A statistical reduction in the number of employed and an improvement in output (real income) after privatization are not observed. Besides, there is no statistical evidence proving that privatized enterprises have experienced significant changes in standard deviations of firm performance measures after privatization in Vietnam. Given significant improvements in the profitability of post-privatized enterprises with tax incentives, the authors propose some managerial implications for the Vietnamese government, investors and non-privatized state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

This article is the result of an investigation about tax incentives in the State of Maranhão, where the purpose was to answer the question: what is the efficiency of tax incentives in relation to the impact on the state of employment? The hypothesis behind this research is that the idea of the Maranese government to create fiscal incentives to stimulate the generation of employment and income can not impact the regions with low human development index (HDI). The general objective of this article is to verify the relationship between the fiscal incentive and the balance of jobs between 2010 and 2016 in Maranhão in regions with lower HDI. The specific objectives are: to investigate the policy of granting the fiscal incentive "more companies" in Maranhão; compare the number of jobs generated with the number of companies that benefited from the tax incentive; to verify the evolution of the jobs generated in each mesoregion and to know the economic activities that generate more jobs in the state. This study is justified because it believes in the relevance it can bring to the academic environment and to the society that encompasses government, companies and professionals, since it presents a more comprehensive perspective regarding economic development in the local regional government of Maranhão. It considers the methodology of this study, a field research, but of quantitative-descriptive character. Among the results, it was identified that the fiscal incentive had no impact on job creation in the Meso-regions that have the lowest HDI indices in the state of Maranhão between 2010 and 2016.

ABSTRAKThe social distancing and physical distancing policies due to the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the value chain of the business world, causing various impacts on the Indonesian economy, resulting in shocks in sectors in the economy. One of the sectors experiencing the worst shocks is the tourism sector. The policy pursued by the government to reduce these shocks is by providing an economic stimulus in the form of tax incentives. The tax incentives provided have not been able to accommodate all the needs of the Tourism Business in facing the COVID-19 pandemic. This encourages the author to find out the needs of the tourism sector in facing the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefits of tax incentives in the tourism sector, and alternative tax incentive policy solutions to overcome economic problems in the tourism sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses qualitative research methods with the type of library research. The results of this study indicate that there are two needs of the tourism sector that have not been responded to in the tax incentive policy by the government, namely support to increase demand and consumption, and easy access to business credit. The author at the end of the study recommends providing value-added tax incentives to increase demand and consumption, and tax incentives for platforms and lenders in fintech lending for easy access to business credit. Kebijakan social distancing dan physical distancing akibat pandemi COVID-19 menimbulkan gangguan pada rantai nilai dunia usaha sehingga menyebabkan berbagai dampak pada perekonomian Indonesia yang berakibat timbulnya goncangan pada sektor-sektor dalam perekonomian.  Salah satu sektor yang mengalami goncangan terparah adalah sektor pariwisata. Kebijakan yang ditempuh oleh pemerintah untuk mengurangi goncangan tersebut adalah dengan cara memberikan stimulus ekomoni berupa insentif pajak. Insentif pajak yang diberikan ternyata belum dapat mengakomodir semua kebutuhan Usaha Pariwisata dalam menghadapi pandemi COVID-19. Hal tersebut mendorong penulis untuk mengetahui kebutuhan sektor pariwisata dalam menghadapi dampak negatif akibat pandemi COVID-19, manfaat insentif pajak pada sektor pariwisata, dan alternatif solusi kebijakan insentif pajak bagaimana yang dapat untuk mengatasi masalah ekonomi pada sektor pariwisata akibat pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua kebutuhan sektor pariwisata yang belum direspons dalam kebijakan insentif pajak oleh pemerintah, yaitu dukungan untuk menaikkan permintaan dan konsumsi, serta kemudahan akses kredit usaha. Penulis pada akhir penelitian merekomendasikan untuk diberikannya insentif pajak pertambahan nilai untuk menaikkan permintaan dan konsumsi, dan insentif pajak untuk platform dan pemberi pinjaman dalam fintech lending untuk kemudahan akses kredit usaha.

This paper examines tax incentive policies in geothermal industries in ASEAN to better understand the development of geothermal industry investment in the ASEAN Member States (AMS) using a qualitative method. The results indicate that tax incentive policies have supported the investment climate and the development of geothermal industries in the AMS. Geothermal investments and production capacities in AMS have increased significantly. AMS that provide geothermal tax incentives include Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The performance of geothermal tax incentive policies is reflected in the level of utilization of geothermal potential, which is higher in states that provide greater tax incentives. The results also indicate that geothermal power plants in AMS use dry steam, flash and binary cycle technologies with flash plants being the most common. Results suggest that the future development of geothermal energy in AMS will be related to the tax incentive policy and investment climate in those states. Furthermore, the granting of various types of tax incentives should be focused on the initial investment in geothermal development. ©2020. CBIORE-IJRED. All rights reserved

This paper aims to detect the impact of firm managers’ risk attitude on the relationship between the degree of output market uncertainty and firm investment. The findings show that there is a negative relationship between these two aspects for risk-averse managers while there is a positive relationship for risk-loving ones, since they have different utility functions. Based on the findings, this paper proposes recommendations for firm managers to take into account when making investment decisions and long-term business strategies as well.
