Optimal regulation of MNEs and government revenues
Article Abstract:
The host country can optimally regulate multinational enterprises by imposing limitations on the latter's ownership of the enterprise and transfer pricing policies. It is assumed that the host government is interested in maximizing tax revenues to support economic growth. Thus, such restrictions are not considered unfair if only to prevent the domestic firm from experiencing falling profits and realizing the goal of increased revenue for the government.
