Is leverage a tax dodge--or not?
Henderson, Yolanda K. (1990-03)
In passing the Tax Reform Act of 1986, policymakers wanted to ensure that corporations would pay their fair share of tax. Congress broadened the corporate tax base, rescinded the investment tax credit, and instituted a new minimum tax. The issue of adequate tax payments has not gone away, however, because corporations have been taking larger interest deductions as a result of having substituted debt for equity on their balance sheets. ; This study begins by measuring the aggregate tax consequences of corporate leverage decisions. It also examines the tax implications of recent transactions in ...

Defense cutbacks and the New England economy
Henderson, Yolanda K. (1990-07)

Thus the reductions in East- West tensions that enable us to allocate more dollars to items that directly improve living standards should be welcome. ; Nevertheless, adjustment to a lower level of defense spending has costs.

The composition of business investment in the United States changed dramatically during the 1980s. Workplaces were transformed as a result of investments in information processing equipment such as computers, fax machines, copiers, and sophisticated telephones. Businesses built new office towers and shopping malls, but few industrial facilities. ; This article considers the extent to which changes in the cost of capital can account for these shifts. A number of developments occurred in the 1980s that affected the cost of capital more for some industries and assets than others. It is well ...
