  1. \(TRC\) is an indicator variable that is equal to one if the firm's bank loan raise after TRRRCs. \(SME\) is an indicator variable that is equal to one if the firm's operation revenue was below the threshold of operation revenue. \(BTD\) and \(DDBTD\) are variables to measure tax avoidance. The discontinuity estimates are based on local linear/quadratic regressions. Standard errors are in the parentheses. *, **, and *** represent statistical significance level at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
