Funded Activity Summary

Tax Loss Selling: Implications for investor share trading behaviour and industry effects. We will contribute to the national interest in several ways. First, we will provide up-to-date evidence on Tax Loss Selling (TLS), addressing an acute lack of research in this area. Second, a predictive model of TLS is being developed, which is important in understanding when and where significant TLS will arise. Third, we will examine whether the mineral exploration industry has been particularly disadvantaged by the Capital Gains Tax. As recognised in the Prosser Report, current tax policy is a potentially important cause of the decline in exploration expenditure. Its role needs to be understood, because the exploration industry contributes substantially to exports and national income, and is critical to the national interest.
