Résumé

Tax avoidance schemes generate artificially complex cross-border financial structures inflatingmeasured international investment stocks in tax havens. Using a standard gravity framework, weestimate that about 40\% of global assets (FDI, portfolio equity and debt) are 'abnormal' -unexplained - stocks. Abnormal stocks are increasing over time and concentrated in a limitednumber of jurisdictions.
