| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines how discrete tax brackets induce an otherwise risk-neutral firm to behave in a very specific risk-averse manner. The authors show how the firm's investment decisions relate to various factors, such as other firm revenue, tax rates, tax exemption levels and project risk. In particular, such a firm is shown to exhibit first-order risk aversion, with a possible zero demand for a risky investment, even when the expected excess return is positive. |
