Chapter 3 Cost of capital and Investment

1. Introduction
As one of the economic stimulus measures, reduction of corporate tax burden has been
discussed in order to cope with globalization and international severe competition. In such
discussions it should be necessary to make clear the effective level of corporate tax burden and the
effects of reduction of corporate taxation on investment in Japan. In Chapter 1, we estimated and
compared the effective rates of corporate tax in Japan as well as in other major developed countries.
In Chapter 2, we calculated tax-adjusted costs of capital and the contribution of tax factor to cost of
capital. The results of those analyses indicate that it is still possible to lower the corporate tax
burden in Japan and to reduce the costs of capital by such a reduction.
Could the cost of capital really affect the corporate investment? If so, how much could the
reduction of corporate tax raise the investment? In order to answer these questions we analyze the
relationship between the tax-adjusted cost of capital and investment in Japan.
Theoretically Jorgenson (1963) formulated the companies’ investment function with an
intellection of cost of capital, which is one of the indicators made by integrated funding cost,
investment-goods’ prices, rate of depreciation allowance and corporate tax rate. As a matter of
course, the corporate value maximization model derives this connection. Based on the theoretical
development, a Jorgenson-type investment function was often used for estimation in Japan.
Representative studies are Takenaka, Takabayashi, Tsukakoshi, Kuwana and Yoshida (1986) and
Tajika and Yui (1988).1
1 Other studies that analyzed the connection between investment and taxation system are Tajika and Yui (1984, 1985), Honma, Hayashi, Atoda and Hata (1984), Honma, Iwamoto, Asada,

obalization has been progressing, the factors that should be considered in investment decision
are becoming more diverse than ever before. Global companies certainly have to consider the
political conditions, economic situation and taxation system in a potential investment destination.
Focusing oneself solely on the investment inflow to Japan, traditional factors such as interest rates
for funding, capital goods prices and land prices weigh heavily for the decision-makers.
However, stud
ts. Issues like bad-loan problems have been the main focus and have neglected overall
investment determinants analysis including the taxation system. This is mainly due to Japan’
recent macroeconomic situation. In the period of the economic bubble we saw rising stock price
and land values steeply and after that experienced the substantial decline in them as the bubble burs
A long economic slowdown followed along with policy failure. Corporate investment could have
been influenced in the past two decades by the changing economic climate; economic bubble period
period of fallout from the bursting bubble, deflationary period and minor recovery period.
This paper will examine how the relation between cost of capital and investment chan
rbulent period and will quantitatively measure those changes. Beyond any doubt, corporate
investment is influenced not only by the cost of capital but also other economic variables and
environmental variables. Hence these factors will be considered as well. Moreover, this paper will
investigate the effects of reduction of corporate tax rate on promotion of corporate investment.
In particular, investment functions will be estimated using the cost of capital, which w
ated in the previous chapter. We will be look at three categories of industry that have been
stipulated by the Japan Standardized Industrial Classification Code. The first category is large
groups by industry, which is made up of nine major industries such as agriculture, forestry and
fisheries, mining, manufacturing, etc. The second one is 15 manufacturing industries of medium
groups by industry, which is mainly made up of food and tobacco, textile, chemicals, etc. And the
third category is capital size. Based on the results of investment functions we will estimate how
much investment could be stimulated by reduction of corporate tax rate.
The following is the contexture of this chapter: In Section 2, we w
Sunagawa and Sano (1989), Iwata, Suzuki and Yoshida (1987). In the 1990s, Hayashi and Inoue (1991) conducted the empirical analysis about Q and business growth and Asako, Kuninori, Inoue and Murase (1997) estimated the investment function which includes the land investment. Uemura and Maekawa (2000) is a recent study.

2-2 Data and Estimation Method
We will estimate the investment functions by industry according to the categories set by the
Japan Standardized Industrial Classification Code and we also estimate by capital size. The
estimation period is from 1985 to 2005.
Table3-1 summarizes the data used for each variable in the model. Basically, ‘other tangible
fixed asset’ in "Houjin, Kigyou, Toukei, and Kihou,(“Financial Statement Statistics of
Corporations”)" (Ministry of Finance) is used as capital stock (K) and the amount of the investment
(I) is measured by ordinary formula of capital accumulation. Depending on the industries’ type and
capital scale, investment is not always done every year. Some companies chose large investment
once a several year. As represented by the construction industry, fluctuation of investment for each
industry is considerably large. Hence tertiary moving average derivation is used. Cost of capital
data calculated by the model built in the statutory tax rate in the Chapter 2 is used as cost of capital.
Land price is commercial land price in six major metropolitan areas of “Urban Land Price Index”
(Japan Real Estate Institute).
We estimated equation (2) using Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The data ranges are from the
bubble period in the late 1980s, the depression period after bubble period in the middle of the
1990s, the deflation period over the late 1990s to 2000. Hence dummy coefficients of cost of
capital are included in 1992-97 and after 98 years, because structural change of the relationship
between investment rate and cost of capital might have occurred.
3. Estimation Results
3-1 Results in Large Groups by industry
Table3-2 shows the estimation results of the all industries and the nine individual industries.
None of the coefficient of cost of capital is significantly negative through the whole period. In only
2 Ogawa and Suzuki (2000) estimated the investment function building the land price into the independent variables and derived the significant result.
47
the manufacturing and electricity, gas & water supply industries, adjusted R square are over 0.9.
Then there is a possibility that significant determinants cannot be considered.
On the other hand, coefficient of cost of capital after 1992 is significantly negative in many
industries, including manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail trade and information &
telecommunications. In particular, by dividing the dummy variables from 1992 to 1997 and after
1998, better results are estimated. Coefficient of cost of capital through the whole period is not
significant hence it can be considered as 0. Therefore, in the case of all industries coefficient of
cost of capital from 1992 to 1997 is -1.58 and that after 1998 is -3.00. In the case of manufacturing,
coefficient of cost of capital until 1997 is -1.15 and that after 1998 is -2.24. Until 1997,
construction is -1.95 and after 1998 is -2.73. Regarding other industries, coefficient of real estate
and information & telecommunications is relatively high; -3.41 and -3.52 each after 1992.
The coefficient is significant for land price in manufacturing, construction, wholesale and
retail trade, and the service activities industries. This would be caused by the abnormal investment
(behavior) pledging of the land in the bubble period when the coefficient of the capital stock is not
significant.
In Table3-2, showing estimation results, some industries’ coefficient of cost of capital
through the whole period is significantly positive against the theory. These are agriculture, forestry,
the fisheries industry and electricity, gas & water supply industry. Also, at no point did mining
show any significance. The relationship between investment and cost of capital might be disturbed
within these four industries due to other factors. For example, electricity, gas & water supply
industry is greatly influenced by the price of oil. The other three industries are labor-intensive
industries and capital scale is fairly small. Hence assumption of corporate value maximization
activity of the theoretical model deriving the investment function cannot be necessarily applied to
these industries and the result was not significant.
3-2 Results in 15 Manufacturing in the Medium Groups by industry
Next, we will present Table3-3 to see the estimation results for the 15 industries in
manufacturing within the medium category. Regrettably, coefficient of cost of capital after 1992 is
significantly negative only in the three industries; general machinery, electrical machinery and
other manufacturing. Coefficient of general machinery after 1992 is -1.21, electrical machines are
48
-1.43 and other manufacturing is -2.39. Those results are consistent with the results of total
manufacturing in Table3-2, which was -1.15 from 1992 to 1997 and -2.24 after 1998.
However, a number of industries’ coefficients are significantly positive even after 1992 and
some industries’ are not significant. Furthermore, nine industries’ coefficients are significantly
positive over whole period. (textiles, pulp, paper and paper products, chemicals, petroleum and
coal products, iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, fabricated metals, transport equipment, precision
instruments) On the other hand, eight industries’ land price variables are significantly positive.
(foods and tobacco, chemicals, petroleum and coal products, ceramic, stone and clay products,
non-ferrous metals, fabricated metals, other manufacturing) Also six industries’ land price variables
are significantly positive and coefficients of cost of capital for all period are significantly positive
as well. These results can be seen as showing how much Japanese manufacturing can be influenced
by a bubble.
More industries in this category did not meet the sign condition compared to the large
category. One of the reasons for these results would be considered that data of Houjin, Kigyou,
Toukei, Kihou “Financial Statement Statistics of Corporation- (Ministry of Finance)” is a sample
survey, hence more impacts for each company are reflected in focusing on the detail. However, we
can hardly avoid the conclusion that only general machinery, electrical machinery and other
manufacturing invested following the corporate value maximization model, which is assumed in
the theory, and other industries’ investment is influenced by the bubble economy and specific
factors of each.
3-3 Results by Capital Size
Finally, we will focus on the estimation results by capital size in Table3-4, which classified
companies into three categories: big, medium and small. Small capital size companies’ (less then
10 million yen) coefficient is not significant in any period. This could because most of the
companies’ capital size is small and they do not go on the market. So, they do not choose to follow
the corporate value maximization model.
In medium capital size companies (more than 10 million yen, but less than 100 million yen),
the coefficient is significant negative through every period. Coefficient of the whole period is -3.61
and that of after 1992 is fairly high: -5.84 (=-3.61-2.23). Coefficient of land price is also
49
significantly positive. It can be considered that medium size companies used land-collateral loans
during the bubble period but also achieved sound management using the cost of capital as an
objective indicator.
On the other hand, big-size companies’ (more than 100 million yen) coefficients of cost of
capital during the whole period and from 1992 to 1997 are not significant either. This could be
down to sloppily management during the bubble period and after the collapse. However, the
coefficient after 1998 is -1.75, which is significant. Big-size companies’ coefficient is smaller than
that of middle- size companies. It could be thought that larger effects of the burst bubble remain in
big-size companies and they are unable to respond in situations to change of the cost of capital.
4. Conclusion
We calculate the impact of a 1% corporation tax rate reduction on investment with the
previous chapter’ results about the relationship between the corporation tax rate and cost of capital.
The independent variable in the equation is investment rate, hence the amount of investment
increase caused the by a 1% corporation tax rate reduction can be derived by multiplying the
variation of cost of capital, in the results of the previous chapter, by the coefficient in the
estimation results from Table3-2 to Table3-4 and then by the amount of the capital stock.
Table3-5 shows the calculation results of the stimulated amount of investment only for the
industries in which coefficients of cost of capital were significant: all industries, five industries
within the large category (manufacturing, construction, wholesale & retail trade, real estate,
information and telecommunications), and big and medium sized companies. By industry, the
largest stimulated amount is within information and telecommunications, which is less than 230
billion yen. The second is less than 170 billion yen for manufacturing. The third is over 100 billion
yen for construction. Stimulated investment amount across all industries can be expected over 780
billion yen.
By capital size, stimulated amount within big-size companies can be estimated at less than
410 billion yen and that of medium-size companies can be expected to be over 580 billion yen. If
anything, a reduction of the corporation tax rate would possibly stimulate the investment of
50
medium-size companies.
This chapter has examined quantitatively the relationship between investment and cost of
capital built in corporation tax. As a result, a negative relationship between cost of capital and
investment was observed. Obviously, using the land price variable also develops aberrant
investment for some industries in the bubble period. Despite a drop in financial revenue for the
government due to a 1% reduction in corporation tax the national economy is greatly boosted by
the inflow of further corporate investment. This investment inflow outstrips any tax loss.
The remaining issue is the fact that estimation results fail to offer strong explanation of the
results. More accurate and robust estimations with additional variables are necessary. Also, some
coefficients of cost of capital in manufacturing are not significant. That might be led by the
small-size industries but cause investigation is required. Trying data collaboration could do this.
This is an issue for the future.
