To harmonize or to compete? That's not the question
Article Abstract:
Policy choices on the possibility of either economic or political distortions tend to be biased towards harmonization. Harmonization is greatly influenced by incentives to reestablish tax differences and is more favored by advisers, interest groups and politicians. Economists are advised to propose changes in institutions or the underlying constitution which can shift the relationship between economic and political distortions inside.

Article Abstract:
A functional relationship is observed between the development of corporate tax policies and corporate financial reporting conventions.
