Our analysis reveals that banks may reduce their\r\ntax expense through securitization via a direct and indirect channel suggesting that tax avoidance may be a further\r\nmotive for banks to engage in the securitization business. These baseline findings remain robust under various\r\nrobustness checks, especially when implementing structural equation models and controlling for a reverse causality\r\nbetween the banks’ tax burden and their incentive to securitize. Finally, various sensitivity analyses provide further\r\nimportant results and implications for tax policies, banking regulation and the ongoing process of revitalizing the\r\nEuropean securitization market."}],"_id":"5163","status":"public","doi":"10.1016/j.qref.2020.07.008","date_created":"2018-10-31T09:55:40Z","year":"2021","author":[{"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8058-8857","id":"36049","first_name":"André","full_name":"Uhde, André","last_name":"Uhde"}],"user_id":"81176","citation":{"ama":"Uhde A.
