Nick Shaxson ■ Quote of the day: CEO narcissism and tax avoidance
Caravaggio’s Narcissus. And the artist hadn’t even met a modern corporate CEO
From a new paper entitled CEO narcissism and tax policies (via TaxProf):
“We document a positive association between CEO narcissism and various measures of corporate tax avoidance and tax risk.”
We haven’t read the paper yet but the correlation, which may simply be a matter of amusement for some, is unlikely to be a spurious one.
