摘要: 借助2010年中国证监会放松卖空约束这一“自然实验”,本文系统考察了卖空机制的引入对公司税收激进行为的影响。研究发现,卖空机制有助于约束管理层的机会主义行为,在一定程度上发挥外部治理功能,从而有效降低公司的税收激进程度。进一步研究显示,与税收征管力度较强的地区相比,税收征管力度较弱地区的公司面临的外部监督制约较小,有更强的避税动机,因此卖空机制的引入对其税收激进程度的抑制作用更明显;而且,在信息透明度较低的公司,投资者较难了解其真实的经营状况,使公司更有条件和空间进行税收激进行为,因此卖空机制的引入更能降低其税收激进程度。

Abstract: Based on the “natural experiment” that China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) relaxed short selling restrictions in 2010,this paper systematically examines the impact of short selling mechanism on tax aggressive behaviors of listed companies in China. The study finds that the short selling mechanism helps to constrain the opportunistic behaviors of management, exert external governance functions to a certain extent, thus effectively reducing company′s tax aggressiveness. Further research shows that, compared with the regions with stronger tax regulations, companies in weaker tax regulations areas face less external supervision, thus have stronger tax avoidance motives. Therefore, the introduction of short selling mechanism has more restraining effect on their tax aggressiveness. Moreover, in companies with lower information transparency, it is difficult for investors to know the true operating conditions of the company, resulting in more space and conditions for companies to conduct tax aggressive behaviors, so the introduction of short selling mechanisms can reduce their tax aggressiveness more.
