英文摘要:
Membership in the Russell 1000 and 2000 Indices is based on a ranking of market capitalization in May. Each index is separately value weighted such that firms just inside the Russell 2000 are comparable in size to firms just outside (i.e. at the bottom of the Russell 1000) but have much higher index weights. These features allow for the the annual reconstitution of these indices to be used as part of a regression discontinuity design to identify the effect of stock market indexing. Using this design, I investigate whether stock market indexing affects corporate tax avoidance. I find no evidence that firms just inside the Russell 2000 have significantly different effective tax rates than firms just outside.

中文摘要:
罗素1000和2000指数的成员资格基于5月份的市值排名。每个指数都是单独的价值加权指数,因此,罗素2000指数范围内的公司在规模上与罗素1000指数范围外的公司相当(即位于罗素1000指数的底部),但指数权重要高得多。这些特征允许每年对这些指数进行重组,作为回归不连续设计的一部分,以确定股市指数的影响。利用这个设计,我调查了股票市场指数化是否会影响公司避税。我没有发现任何证据表明,在罗素2000年内的公司的有效税率与在罗素2000年外的公司有显著不同。
