Professor Murphy's research centers on taxation's influence on corporate and investor decisions through three interconnected themes: international taxation and multinational corporations, examining tax-driven global business structures; investor-level taxes and trading behavior, analyzing tax impacts on investment choices; and accounting information and tax policy, investigating financial reporting-tax regulation dynamics. He employs rigorous empirical methods and archival data analysis to produce causal evidence in tax accounting.
His 2021-2025 publications reveal dominant trends in international tax avoidance mechanisms, corporate tax strategy evolution, and policy-induced behavioral changes. Key patterns include systematic analysis of tax haven utilization, multinational income shifting practices, and legislative impacts like OBRA 1993 and TIPRA 2005, consistently leveraging natural experiments and large-scale datasets.
