Has there been any serious research in this area that supports that conclusion. My impression, which is completely uninformed I admit, is that we often talk about companies leaving due to high tax burdens, but that it rarely happens. It's a politically signal, more than a factual systemic driver.

Sure, a bunch of companies have relocated to tax havens, but we're not going to solve that by regressing to a 2% universal tax rate.
