Abstract
Tax-Clientele Effects and Tax-Timing Options in the German Bond Market - A Binomial Tree Model
Tax-clientele models consider the optimization problems of differentially taxed investors under a buy-and-hold assumption whereas tax-timing option models draw on homogeneously taxed investors with the opportunity of future asset trading at (ex ante) uncertain prices. In the latter models, optimal trading strategies imply a tax postponement in certain cases. Tian’s (1996) discrete-time dynamic trading model is the first to analyze future asset trading among differentially taxed investors. In this paper, the Tian (1996)-model, which is customized for the US-investor taxation, is adopted for German taxation rules. The Niederstwertrule that applies to German corporations requires a path-dependent valuation approach. The numerical (this being another American put-option pricing problem) results are: Under German taxation rules, too, tax-clientele effects have a significant impact on simulated asset prices. However, the benefits of tax postponement do not stem from future asset trading possibilities (as under US-investor taxation) but are generated by the Niederstwert-rule. There are no tax advantages from future asset trading over a simple buy-and-hold investment policy.
