Well, the editors are obviously posing two extremes for the purpose of making a point. And it follows from the actual article 2d ago:
More than third of foreign investment is multinationals dodging tax https://www.ft.com/content/37aa9d06-d0c8-11e9-99a4-b5ded7a7fe3f … via @financialtimes
It is IMF research after all.
[Tax] Sloppy reporting by @FT. This is a about how international statistics measure cross-border investment. Yes it makes no sense to treat building a factory same as registering a holding company. But calling the second "profit shifting" is silly https://www.ft.com/content/44de0898-d2fb-11e9-a0bd-ab8ec6435630?desktop=true&segmentId=d8d3e364-5197-20eb-17cf-2437841d178a#myft:notification:instant-email:content …pic.twitter.com/dsTL9ueLaj

Yes but the actual article doesn't follow from the research! The final paper is not published, but the IMF Working Paper is all about how FDI is double counted in international stats, it doesn't measure tax avoidancehttps://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2017/11/17/The-Global-FDI-Network-Searching-for-Ultimate-Investors-45414 …
