Employing FMOLS and DOLS estimators (with Pedroni cointegration, GLS robustness, and Dumitrescu–Hurlin panel causality), the authors find positive and significant associations between profitability, size, leverage and (lower) effective tax rates—i.e., higher profitability, larger size, and greater leverage are linked to greater tax avoidance. The paper discusses policy implications for monitoring profitable, large, and highly leveraged firms, and notes limitations of CETR as a proxy. aIssued in online. aMode of access: Internet 0aTax avoidancezBangladesh 0aCorporationsvTaxationzBangladeshxEconometric models.10aMd.
