Also @MKSolicitors is not impressed with @fichtner_jan @javiergb_com 's 'Sinks and Conduits' paper http://www.fcpablog.com/blog/2017/9/19/martin-kenney-academics-skew-picture-of-bvi-and-other-offsho.html … (lesson: researchers should talk to practitioners more)

I'm not a fan of all the name calling - 'anti-capitalists', 'evil tax dodgers' etc... and I do think there should be more research - but I wish there was more engagement between practitioners & researchers.
I do think you do more than 'show some patterns'. The basic pattern is the lack of records from offshore jurisdictions in Orbis. From this u conclude 'Sink-OFCs attract and retain foreign capital' but that is a misinterpretation of the pattern of not-being-in-orbis.

Yes, we talked about this before. We show the ownership chains "start" there, and thus BVI and other sink-OFCs are key players in the offshore world.

I think thats what Martin is getting at. It is not news that BVI, Cayman, Bermuda are key players in the offshore world. They question is their impact good or bad? The framing & coverage of yr paper suggests 'bad' but thats not what you studied w the numbers
