      We're looking at the temporal evolution now and plan to rerun it every year, we'll have results of the last 8 years in a few weeks.

      I wouldn't expect material changes over the last 8 years, but would be very interested if I'm wrong!

      Authors:help me understand what 'sink' means? i.e.'attract & retain capital', 'store capital'. How? Capital not deployed on small islands

      Meaning that we lose the thread indeed, or the companies are owned by individuals (for instance in the case of Luxembourg).

      Losing the thread is a data thing - does not mean capital itself is sunk or stored there. In practice does this mean end of chain = funds?

      There is a correlation between ownership and capital flow. We don't know what happens after BM or VG, the capital is definitely not there.

      It may, but the capital is not there. The company is incorporated in VG, the money is reinvested somewhere else.

      So your comment about being 'reinvested' makes no sense if what you are missing is info on the credit side from the sinks.

      If the ownership chain ends in VG and we're not missing info, then it is likely that capital flows there and gets reinvested.

      Do you mean capital or returns? Returns flow up the chain to owners. Can be reinvested or paid out. Capital (apart from patents) not in OFCs

          I think you mean 'returns' whenever you say 'capital' in the paper - it completely changes the meaning. It is back-to-front
