Abstract: Capital gains taxation has important implications on investors'''' portfolio choice
decisions. To explore the implications, we develop a continuous time portfolio selection model
with capital gains tax, Epstein-Zin recursive utility, and regime switching. Our model allows us to use analytical techniques
as well as numerical analysis. We find that various factors such as risk aversion, tax rate,
and interest rate jointly affect the optimal investment strategy, whereas intertemporal
substitution does not. In the presence of regime switching, there is a distinct cross-regime effect on the optimal strategy. In particular, investors tend to raise stock
investment in the bear regime so as to reduce potential tax payments upon regime
switching. Given reasonable parameter values, regime-switching has a greater impact on the optimal strategy in the bear regime than in
the bull regime. This work is jointly with Jiatu Cai and Xinfu Chen.
