1 Corporate Profits Tax and Innovative Investments Andrew Atkeson Ariel Burstein Manolis Chatzikonstantinou UCLA, Fed MPLS UCLA UCLA May 2018
2 Introduction Impact of changes in corporate profits taxes on dynamics of aggregate output? How much do changes in firms incentives to invest in innovation matter? Barro-Furman (2018), CBO, Penn-Wharton Budget Model R&D capital accumulation, parallel to physical capital Atkeson-Burstein (2018) model of firm dynamics and innovation: Expensing for tax purposes of investment in entry vs. innovation by incumbents, business stealing, markups, gap btw private & social returns due to spillovers Extend results on aggregate implications of policy-induced changes in innovation
3 AB Model Pros: Nest range of models that allow for innovation by incumbents and entrants Jones (2002) NS: Grossman Helpman (1991), Aghion Howitt (1992), Klette Kortum (2004), Acemoglu and Cao (2015) EV: Romer (1990), Luttmer (2007, 11), Atkeson and Burstein (2010) Tractable aggregate transition dynamics and welfare Clear guide for measurement, building on Ackigit and Kerr (2016), Garcia, Hsieh, and Klenow (2016) Cons: Does not nest models that need state variable for firm types Lentz and Mortensen (2008), Luttmer (2011), Acemoglu, Ackigit, Bloom, and Kerr (2013) and Peters (2016)
4 Impact of a permanent in corporate profits tax Log change Output Output 10 years Long run Welfare Exogenous productivity Endogenous innovation [0.002, 0.05] [ 3.26, 3.28] [ 0.11, 0.22] Ten-year horizon: consideration of impact of corporate profits taxes on firms incentives to innovate does not results in large absolute differences (relative to e.g. business cycle variation) Long-run: potentially large impact (positive or negative) depending on intertemporal knowledge spillovers is there too much or too little entry in the initial equilibrium?
5 Talk Outline Simple model only entrants invest two sufficient statistics for long-run, transition dynamics simple bound on impact elasticity Add investment by incumbent firms reallocation of innovation between entrants and incumbents Calibration and policy experiment Results
6 Model outline Two final goods output: consumption and physical investment research good: input to innovation Output produced from differentiated intermediate goods produced with physical capital and production labor Research good produced with research labor Entrants invest research good to acquire a differentiated good create new intermediate goods or improve upon existing goods (business stealing) Later: add innovation by incumbents

19 Investments by incumbents and productivity growth Product-level innovation technologies imply tractable equilibrium aggregation: subject to log Z t+1 log Z t = G(x ct, x mt, x et) x ct + x mt + x et = Y rt Evolution of aggregate productivity details t+1 = [(1 δ ct) ζ(x ct) + η mh(x mt) + η Z ρ 1 t ex et] Z ρ 1 M t M t Product exit δ ct = δ 0 + δ mh(x mt) + δ ex et

22 Equal expensing for incumbents and entrants: λ e = λ c Policy affects Y rt but not mapping between Y rt and log(z t+1 ) log(z t) Formulas for dynamics in simple model go through If λ e = λ c < 1, τ equivalent to uniform subsidy to all innovative investments i r No business stealing: Θ = Θ e = Θ c = Θ m Business stealing: Θ e < Θ c. x e and x c, under regularity condition, Θ Θ e Θ e ḡz G( x c, x m, 0) x e/ȳr = contribution of entrants innovation to growth entrants share of innovative investment

37 Summary How do consideration of the impact of corporate profits taxes on firms incentives to invest in innovation shape the model s predicted response of aggregate output? Ten-year horizon: response not very different (in absolute terms) compared to e.g. business cycle variation Long-run: can make a big difference, depending on: intertemporal knowledge spillovers is there too much or too little entry in the initial equilibrium (due to business stealing and ex-ante differential expensing)?
