Abstract: How do firms’ investment respond to a large corporate tax rate cut in developing countries? This study uses a matched difference-in-difference approach to estimate the investment responses of Thailand’s 2012–13 corporate income tax cut. It finds that the tax cut has significantly boosted investment. The findings also underline the heterogeneity of the investment responses between local and foreign firms as well as the potential roles of policy uncertainty and market competition on investment response.
