To measure tax avoidance and investment efficiency, we used the cash effective tax rate and the Richardson (2006) model, respectively. Method: A sample of 152 companies listed in the TSE from 2009 to 2018 was selected to test the research hypothesis, using a panel data least squares regression model.
