This note identifies profit shifting in response to cross-country differences in corporate tax rates as a source of productivity mismeasurement. To quantify the magnitude of mismeasurement, the profit-shifting effect is isolated from other possible effects of corporate tax rates changes on real activity shifts. The empirical illustration suggests that the mismeasurement effect is quantitatively significant.
