Lots of clips, backed up a bit. Some links might now work because a subscription is needed. More and more articles are openly skeptical, and Kevin Brady's assertions look more and more dubious (or worse). This list is not comprehensive, mainly owing to space and time constraints.

The border adjustment tax has both political and economic justifications. The economic case for a border adjustment is that it would reduce incentives for profit shifting across nations through transfer pricing in favor of tax havens with lower rates of taxation (Auerbach and Holt-Eakin 2016, Auerbach et al. 2017). This is because the border adjustment tax links the tax jurisdiction to the site of consumption rather than the location of production because it is a destination-based tax. The border adjustment tax is supposed to help increase government revenues in order to cover the deficit that would result from the corporate tax rate reduction, according to the political justification.
