Private Transfer Fees: Developer Exploitation Or Legitimate Financing Vehicle, Burke T. Ward, Jamie P. Hopkins

Is United States Corporate Tax Policy Outsourcing America - A Critical Analysis Of The Proposed Tax Holiday For Trapped Cfc Earnings, Robert Bloink
Villanova Law Review

However, recent economic research has brought the assumption of "trickle down" success into question. This Article suggests an alternate path focused on enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. MNCs in the global economy while enhancing the welfare …
