      It is often said (on the basis of a misreading of an old UNCTAD report) that 60% of world trade happens within multinational companies. But best estimates are that it is around 30% says @nickshaxson at @TaxJusticeNet https://www.taxjustice.net/2019/04/09/over-a-third-or-more-of-world-trade-happens-inside-multinational-corporations/ …

      For which i was told I was wrong and my motives were questionable by the leading lights of the tax justice movement 🙄https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2015/07/13/tax-justice-is-not-about-big-numbers/ …

      ... And my point is not to be personally aggrieved. The article ends with the usual call for more data. Great. But data is no use without institutions, networks and organisational cultures that allow people to look at it, learn from it and question.

      and the OECD had clearly said 60%. Also, your anti-NGO crowd is too hung up on data/numbers, focusing on measurables and airbrushing out unmeasurables - with generic effect of skewing policy in favour of MNEs (see chapter in my Finance Curse book - can send it if u like.)

      Nick. I know that John Neighbour when he was at @OECDtax once said 60% in an article in the OECD Observer magazine, and it was perhaps an honest mistake by many to read this as 'the OECD says' http://oecdobserver.org/news/archivestory.php/aid/670/Transfer_pricing:_Keeping_it_at_arms_length.html …

          But it is unreferenced statement, and not in an official OECD report. So i think it is a mistake to interpret this (then, and still now) as the OECD "clearly saying" 60%pic.twitter.com/48536s7A2F

          As to the playground personal slurs about being me anti-NGO and having some hidden motivations as part of a nefarious crowd....🙄 As I said, this was nasty and unhealthy behaviour in 2015, and it still is. Wanting NGOs to be rigorous is not being 'anti-NGO'.
